Who says the spirit of innovation is dead? Who claims that nothing is invented here anymore, that America's best days are behind us? I cry No! The spirit that inspired our forefathers breathes within us yet.
The Wisconsin state fair is in full swing up in West Allis, WI (part of the Greater Allis metroplex). On the midway, inbetween the Ferris wheel and the prize steers, along with the funnel cakes and corn dogs, a new champion has emerged. Chocolate covered bacon. You heard me aright, citizens. American ingenuity has found a way to marry pork products and milk chocolate. Not stopping there, this new food item is actually served on a stick, for the culinary convenience of the consumer.
Bacon on a stick would be invention enough for some, more timid nations. Combining meat and milk chocolate would be too radical in lesser peoples. But in this great land of ours, the sky's the limit when it comes to increasing the caloric density of foodstuffs, whilst simultaneously making it easier to eat one handed.
Is this a great country, or what?
It makes you wonder what new comestible is still merely a gleam in some bold entrepreneur's eye. Caramel coated spam, anyone?
