As you know, one of the semi-recurring themes on this blog is the king of meats - none other than bacon. Salon has written a semi-brainy article deconstructing the current vogue of bacon. Do enjoy it.
A choice excerpt that sums up the content and the tone of the article:
"Bacon is the cocaine of the '00s," says author Sarah Katherine Lewis, "a visible sign of decadent rebellion."
Just to your left here is an image of a bacon-chocolate bar offered by weird, expensive chocolatier Vosges. I have been meaning to try this since it combines two of my favorite foods, but I haven't gotten around to it especially as it's $9. Let me know if you've tried it.
