Starbucks 'Trenta': How The New Size Compares To Your Stomach
Famous Death Row Last Meals
"Pig candy." It sounds like it might be a piece of chocolate shaped like an adorably chubby porker. Perhaps made from spun sugar?
In this week's LA Weekly, a reader asked food writer Jonathon Gold about the stuff. Gold's reply was that pig candy is, indeed, made of...pig. It is thick-cut bacon baked with brown sugar until, pretty much, it's candied, I guess.
The craze for the dish started in Washington, D.C., however, in LA the only place to get pig candy is at a Hollywood wine bar, Lou (724 North Vine Street, Hollywood, CA (323) 962-6369). Not sure about its availability anywhere else.
A google search for "pig candy" comes up with recipes.

Cosidering none of these careless babylonians ever cared what they put in they're bodies anyway,Just add 13 parts gung-ho-''Hey Im a man because I devour animals'',mixed with zero enlightenment past your front door,and you've got the purfect recipe for extended global attrocity..how sad.
