One of those offbeat native art-forms that makes America such a remarkable place to explore: Sculpting in food. Go to any county or state fair in a dairy-producing region of the United States and odds are there will be a booth where you'll find the local Corn Carnival Princess clad in a winter coat and pretending she enjoys freezing her nethers off while her likeness is preserved for eternity-- or until the power fails-- in butter. Why do they do this? I have no idea, but it's still fascinating.
I particularly like the butter cows. It's a bit like Damien Hirst only not disgusting.

3. No ad hominem attacks. Attack the subject, not the other person on the thread and keep the discussion civil.
4. No spamming or commercial endorsements. These get deleted immediately.
