Apple-Bacon-Chocolate English Muffin

Hello everyone! I have to admit, today's prompt – "Tell us about a weird food combo that you love" – made me a bit nervous. I couldn't think of any weird food combos off the top of my head, at least, not any I knew I would love. I'm generally not very adventurous with odd food pairings; I like to stick to tried & true foods that go well together. So, I decided to view this prompt as an experiment, the key ingredients being tempeh bacon (to use up what I had left from Tuesday's post) and chocolate chips.

Of the three experiments I conducted throughout this week, the one that turned out best was my lunch today, the Apple-Bacon-Chocolate English muffin. I baked my last three slices of tempeh bacon with five apple slices and then layered them (with melted chocolate) inside an English muffin. Is it the most adventurous weird food combo? No, certainly not. But was it one I could actually eat? Yes. Most importantly, I enjoyed it and can even see myself making it again.

Interested in seeing the other two experiments?

The idea for the first one came from the Easy Apple Nachos I'd tried recently. It turned out alright but was rather messy, and I couldn't finish the last bit of pepper; my stomach felt too weird, and I was not going to risk it, lol!

(Tempeh bacon pieces & chocolate chips baked in halves of an orange bell pepper, with peanut butter drizzled on top.)

The second experiment became the basis for today's successful weird food combo. I cooked four slices of tempeh bacon and had them on an English muffin with melted chocolate. Simple but something was still missing; as you know, I discovered today that that something was apple slices. 

Anyone else do food experiments for today's prompt? How did they turn out for you?
