Everything is sugary sweet and dripping in fat here in the US. Take, for example, the bacon served during brekky. It's basically a strip of fried, salted lard. Admittedlty it is very tasty (probably because it's a strip of fried, salted lard) and for those that find the bacon a little too salty, there's always the option of drowning it with corn syrup at the serving table.
Last night we had a carribean BBQ with accompanying steel band. The performers were 4 white guys (no dreds) wearing loud polyester shirts playing on contrived instruments trying to masquerade as an authentic carribean steel band. What perplexed me the most, however, were the bits of straw strewn all over the floor inside the marquee (it looked more barn yard than carribean). Some fresh beach sand and a couple of coconuts would have been more pleasing...I really should be an event's coordinator. The BBQ was nice and tasty. Grilled chicken rubbed with a most delectable spice. And 'no', it wasn't wrapped in streaky bacon.
