Nationally speaking, the humble state of Delaware doesn’t get much attention. As the second-smallest state in America, it measures roughly 96 miles long and at its widest point, only a svelte 35 miles across. Should you be so inclined, it would take you about an hour and a half to drive all the way from the bottom to the top—presumably, to get somewhere more exciting. The most famous commodity to emerge from Delaware is Joe Biden, along with, apparently, something called “scrapple”: a regional mid-Atlantic breakfast food enticingly described as a “congealed loaf of pork scraps and cornmeal.” What the state lacks in cultural impact, however, it makes up for in far more insidious arenas.
