Bacon and (Easter) Eggs, Top Chef meets The Amazing Race, and breast milk cheese!

Here's a roundup of all things interesting—or downright odd—in the food world we found on the web this week.

Chocolate egg with bacon filling

You love bacon, you love chocolate, enter Chicago-based chocolatier Vosges, and what do you get? Probably the most interesting Easter egg this season. Each pack of Vosges Bacon and Eggs comes with five pieces of chocolatey, bacon and caramel goodness.

Dreyer's Girl Scout Cookie Ice Cream

A combination less unusual than bacon and chocolate, Dreyer's combines cookies and ice cream in the limited edition Girl Scout Cookie Ice Cream Flavors. The edition comes in three varieties: Tagalong (peanut butter and fudge), Samoa (caramel with fudge), and Thin Mint. Despite so-so reviews of the ice cream, we'd still love to try any of them!

Breast milk cheese!

New York chef Daniel Angerer's claim to fame may well be him squaring off against Bobby Flay in Iron Chef America. But his "discovery" last month may have eclipsed his TV stint: cheese made from milk produced by his very own wife. He shares six steps to producing cheese from breastmilk in his blog. Would you try cheese made from breastmilk—or even try it on one of Yummy's cheese recipes?
