Burger King is the latest food chain to jump on the savoury dessert band wagon with the announcement of a 510-calorie bacon sundae.

Burger King announced a special summer menu that includes a 510-calorie bacon sundae perfected in one of the most obesity-stricken states in America.

"This limited-time soft serve dessert took Nashville, Tennessee by storm earlier this year and is now available nationwide to satisfy every sweet tooth," the fast-food chain said in a press release.

"The sweet and savory dessert features the rich and creamy vanilla BK soft serve (ice cream), drizzled with chocolate fudge, caramel and topped with bacon crumbles, complete with a thick-cut, hardwood smoked bacon garnish."

Its calorie count is within sight of Burger King's signature Whopper hamburger, which weighs in at 670 calories.

Tennessee has the fourth-highest obesity rate in the United States at 31.9 percent, according to a report last year by the Trust for America's Health think tank.

Last month an HBO television documentary cast a spotlight on local efforts in Nashville, the state capital and heart of the US country music industry, to reverse the trend.

The bacon sundae -- which has eight grams of fat and 61 grams of sugar -- is part of a one-off, barbecue-themed selection from Burger King that also includes such Southern favorites as pulled pork sandwiches, frozen lemonade and sweet potato fries.

Morrisons have a salad bar in their stores, and on said bar is a container of "bacon bits" which you can use to add a bit of bacon flavour to your salad.

Annoyingly, they don't seem to sell the bacon bits separately.

How do you guys cook it? Oven cooked bacon is the best bacon.

Place on plate. place plate in Microwave. full power for two minutes.

Get out. Go on. Out.

this may appeal to some (Craster). Got an email from the Hawksmoor yesterday, their third burger is now (marketing spiel incoming):

From Monday 10th March there'll be a new Third Burger at Seven Dials – the Five Pork Burger. Working on the assumption that more is always better, we've topped a Tamworth pork patty with sausage meat stuffing and a couple of slices of smoked bacon. On the side there's sausage gravy for French-dipping and a couple of extra-long pork scratchings. To balance it all out we snuck in some Spring Greens which brings a little Sunday Roast into the mix and a dollop of homemade apple ketchup.

Why, not a thing, sir!
