We don't need to take a chemistry class to know that some flavors just mix well together. The fat of bacon, the sweetness of sugar, and the acidity of the vinegar, when combined, just make for a magical tart but sweet but rich combination that defies chemistry class, physics class, and, you can tell by the sentence construction here, English class. Order this meal, and find yourself with a top-of-the-class dinner. Tip: To peel the carrot with less effort, lay it down on your cutting board peel one half, rolling it as you peel. (Be sure to peel in a motion away from you!)
