Nixon recently spent four hours frying bacon for the new flavor, which was initially created for last year's Baconfest in Kansas City.
"I don't usually fry much bacon for myself," Nixon says, "and after
the second hour of inhaling the aroma of freshly fried bacon, I was
thinking, 'My God, what have I gotten myself into?' But it's been
selling really well, so it's worth it."
Patrons at Murray's fall into two camps, says Nixon: The customers
who absolutely refuse to even taste the new flavor and those who taste
it and like it.
"I never thought, in my wildest dreams, that I'd ever be selling a bacon-flavored ice cream," she says.
Another new flavor will be a mojito sorbet, which was introduced as
an "experiment" last year and received rave reviews. It's an
alcohol-free sorbet version of the popular cocktail.
