Foodie Faux Pas: Speck Candy

Hello! This post is for all of you out there who find foods that are never supposed to be mixed together and wonder what were they thinking?!? Perhaps you will sneer at me for some of my opinions, but I still must create this category of posts for the Tiny Teaspoons blog. Today's "Foodie Faux Pas" is Bacon Candy! We all know that Germans love their pork products but this is just a little strange for me. Maybe Americans can equate it to cigarette gum that kids buy - so we promote faux lung cancer candy, they promote faux artery clogging candy. The funniest part to me is that the candy's logo even has picture of a piglet to show everyone that "yes" this is indeed bacon candy. I know all of you want to run to the store to pick up a bag of this delicious speck, but before doing so I must tell you it isn't bacon flavored - it is sugary marshmallow. If you are curious, the direct translation of "ein sack voll speck" is "a sac full of bacon."
