Red-eye gravy is another example of pork and coffee together. It's delicious. But, like the other examples, no milk.

Biscuits and (pork) gravy shows that pork and milk go just fine together since the gravy is a bechamel with milk in it.

Poking around online, I do see some non-traditional red-eye gravy recipes that also add milk.

Bacon and chocolate is also a well-established pairing.

Honestly, assuming you can deal with the oiliness, I think bacon flavor would work great in a coffee drink.

Coffee really complements certain fats on my palate. Avocado and coffee taste like magic to me. Some cheeses too. Peanuts and almonds are good too. Bacon and eggs are fine, but not particularly special. I love coffee and a simple 80/20 hamburger with mayo and potato bun.

Coffee goes well with a lot of things. People think I'm gross when I tell them I had coffee and a cheeseburger for breakfast, but we know better.

Holy shit red eye gravy. This is the fourth reference to that I've come across randomly in the last two days. I guess I'll have to try it.

Do you have a recipe?
