-- 
Bacon ice cream (or Bacon-and-egg ice cream) is a modern invention in
experimental cookery, generally created by adding bacon to egg custard
and freezing the mixture. Although it was a joke in a Two Ronnies
sketch, it was eventually created for April Fools’ Day. Heston
Blumenthal experimented with the creation of ice cream, making a
custard similar to scrambled eggs then adding bacon to create one of
his signature dishes. It now regularly appears on dessert menus in
high-end restaurants.
