'Caramelised Banana Jam, Candied Bacon, Peanut Butter'

Even though this belongs on the Morning Glory menu, it sounds and tastes more like a dessert. It's a classic long-standing combination but one that I've not managed to try until now. As my virgin experience to this unique combination, put simply, I've ๐—ป๐—ผ ๐—ถ๐—ฑ๐—ฒ๐—ฎ ๐˜„๐—ต๐˜† ๐˜€๐˜‚๐—ฐ๐—ต ๐—ฎ ๐—ฑ๐—ถ๐˜€๐—ต ๐—ถ๐˜€ ๐—ป๐—ผ๐˜ ๐—บ๐—ผ๐—ฟ๐—ฒ ๐—ฐ๐—ผ๐—บ๐—บ๐—ผ๐—ป ๐—ถ๐—ป ๐—ฆ๐—ถ๐—ป๐—ด๐—ฎ๐—ฝ๐—ผ๐—ฟ๐—ฒ.ย Think:

Even on their own, all the elements tasted divine. Stuffing them within a bagel though and you produce a strangely harmonious medley of flavours likened to a masterpiece played by a world-renowned Orchestra. The bold flavours possessed by each element suddenly becomes more muted, none of them shining above the rest. Instead, for the betterment of the bagel, each element strived to provide only whatever that was necessary, nothing more. While it's probably not fair to compare the meat-filled bagels from the Trailblazers menu to this, considering how I would gladly have accepted a 2nd order of this after devouring 2 other bagels that day,ย it's safe to say that the Elvis easily secured the spot as ๐—บ๐˜† ๐—ณ๐—ฎ๐˜ƒ๐—ผ๐˜‚๐—ฟ๐—ถ๐˜๐—ฒ ๐—ฏ๐—ฎ๐—ด๐—ฒ๐—น.
