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.
