Chicken Fried (Turkey) Bacon Ice Cream?

[halleyscomet.livejournal.com]

The idea occurred to me that Chicken Fried Bacon would make a perfect (If rather horrifying) Baitcon flavor.

My current thought process is "How would I make this happen?"

The bacon would have to be cooked on site, unless I could find a way to cook and transport the chicken fried bacon without it getting soggy. My main problem here is the fact that breaded foods really need to be served within 10 to 15 minutes when fried, or the batter gets soggy.

Then there's the fact that dunking the fried batter into milk or water to make an ice cream or sorbet would also cause rampant sogginess.

Anyone know a good "gravy" flavor ice cream recipe? Based on the serving suggestion in the video that sparked this idea, a gravy base would work well.

Can straight gravy be made into a sorbet or ice cream? If it can then the liquid Nitrogen freezing process could potentially prevent the fried coating form getting too soggy, as long as it's served promptly.

Anyone have some experience making ice cream using a fried product like tempura?

EDIT: I've learned that the proposed Baitcon site for 2007 is Pork free, complete with hefty fines for breaking the rule. In light of this, if I make this ice cream, it will be done with Turkey Bacon. Hopefully there won't be any issues with using milk and turkey together, because if I have to go for a dairy free ice cream, this flavor is just going to get weird.

afaik, the upcoming baitcon site is bacon free, no pork products of any kind allowed. oops.

Yep, and based on previous groups that've been at that site, they're extremely serious about it. As in fairly steep fines for breaking the rule.

On the other hand, I know of at least two projects to make Kosher Bacon ice cream in the works.

Oh dear lord, is this going to turn into another case of 0--->5% basil in a single year? Having that many basil flavors appear all in the same year was just odd.

So, know anyone thinking of doing a ceviche-based flavor? Cuz that's where my brain's been heading for over a year now!

I think you hold the lock on Ceviche. :)

(Though that one is going to bring up some interesting food-sterilization and quarantine requirements. The meat/milk thing was a problem, but having folks drop dead from anaphylactic shock is quite something else...)

Actually, the biggest problem is No Pork.

The new site's owned by Sufis. No pork allowed. Other than that, you're trying to take infinitehotel's title away, aren't you?

[halleyscomet.livejournal.com]

What title is that?

Will using Turkey Bacon in a diary based ice cream be OK? (Well, from a site rules standpoint at least.)

If you're buying turkey bacon, check the ingredients carefully. Some is made with pork.

Turkey Bacon is often made with Pork....

Why then, do they call it Turkey Bacon?!?!?

Thanks for the warning.

Halal does not have the milk-meat issue, nor the shellfish issue, that Kashreth does. So, as long as no pork, the Sufis should not have issues with turkey and milk.

Speaking of which, is there a way to put up on the Baitcon website a new list of what we are NOT allowed to do flavor-wise in order to make sure people are respectful of the Sufi beliefs espoused by our hosts?

I admit to not being entirely certain what all the rules are and, being someone contemplating ceviche sorbet this year, I would like to make sure that I don't offend.

It would be polite to keep that bucket & scoop separate, out of consideration to those who wouldn't eat it (kosher/vegetarian/vegan)...

[deguspice.livejournal.com]

How about renaming the flavor "Turkey Fried Turkey Bacon Ice Cream"?

Hmm, has anyone made a Turkducken Ice Cream?
