In the USA, cinnamon spicy candy has been popular for a very long time.

Cow Tails are just long, thin Caramel Creams.

Mebbe... but I just really find them ... distasteful... (shiver) ... and I like caramel...

I haven't decided yet. I like chocolate..and I like bacon.

The chocolate and the bacon were very distinct flavors. They didn't meld. It wasn't like a Reese's, where the peanut butter and the chocolate kind of come together in your mouth to forms something new.

One of the tastiest snacks I've had were candied bacon. Pieces of bacon coated in sugar (and a few other things), baked and eaten as snacks. Not the same thing as chocolate and bacon but bacon and sweet do go together pretty well.

I wonder if chitterlings coated in chocolate would be good?

This outfit works out of my home town: http://www.cowgirlchocolates.com/ They started out making different chocolates with hot peppers in most of the formulas.

There be a sauce, I cannot remember fer the life o' me what it's called, that one can get in certain restaurants caterin' to the taste o' the Spanish main, that is a chocolate-chile sauce. Arr. Goes good with chicken, goat, or bilgerat. It's pretty odd to my white-boy taste, but I like it once in a while.

Mole' (pronounced Mo-LAY, not "mole", even if that *would* be an appropriate sauce for bilge-rat)

You should never ever ever ever ever EVER use hershey's syrup to make mole'. Ever.

I wish someone had told that to the cooks at the restaurant near my house

Durn you!!! Now I'm starved. That looks like it would be really good-not to mention all the steaks that were being flailed around in that video...

And I love cowtails! even though I once lost a cap while chewing on the thing.

Invented in Stonehaven, my hometown (the idiot that first asked for one was in my year at school). Use to eat a lot of them when I was at school, mostly for the novelty value and because it was bad for me (I was 15, what else am I going to do?).

They're not bad actually, ridiculously sweet though and I wouldn't eat them now.

They're not really a delicacy, in fact they're mostly a bad joke now and you'd be hard pressed to find a chip shop that sold them these days. It's one of those things that got a lot more press than it really deserved.

Personally I think a deep fried pizza is much worse (never plucked up enough courage to try one of those), but you can thank Glasgow for those I believe.
