Starbucks 'Trenta': How The New Size Compares To Your Stomach
Famous Death Row Last Meals
A little more than a year ago, I fell all over myself after reading about Pig Candy. No, not those pig-shaped peppermint candies to which you take a tiny mallet and break open. I am talking about "candy" that is made from pork. At the time, the only place in LA that offered this "secret dinner-party hors d'oeuvre" was Lou, a wine bar in Hollywood.
Well, it has taken more than a year, but I finally got to Lou on Vine, and got to try Pig Candy, and friends, it is awesome. Really, it's nothing more than thick-cut bacon that's baked in the oven with brown sugar, but for some reason, popping these gems while sitting in a dark wine bar with a group of friends makes it so absolutely special.
If you want to make it at home, I found a "recipe" for it at the Virtual Weber Bullet.

it is barbequed pork which is sweet & SUPER TASTY. it is usually barbequed on a HUGE smoking flame (original method of cooking). nowadays people just bake it.
you can find it in the asian markets labelled as pork jerky.
