"Appetizing yet stomach-turning" foods of 2012

Bacon ice cream

This increasingly popular take on ice cream is popping up at state fairs and fancy restaurants. This past summer, Burger King offered a bacon sundae with vanilla soft serve ice cream with fudge, caramel, bacon crumbles and a piece of bacon to boot. The sweet treat may not have made nutritionists swoon, clocking in at 510 calories, 18 grams of fat and 61 grams of sugar.
