Speaking for the South, as I do, we would love to claim invention of pig candy. I think many cultures have come up with similar treats, however, so claiming it would be kinda like claiming the invention of fried, sweetened dough.
If you're so grossed out, what do you call maple syrup on bacon? Hmmm?
I think there's a wee bit o' difference between "Cooked meat which has had a sugar glaze added" and "Meat cooked until it caramelizes on its own and turns into a piece of slightly sweet, crunchy leather".

Meat that *BECOMES* sugar glaze = ewwww.

"Cow just don't fry up the way pig do.")
