In 1787, before the Constitution was even ratified, Congress passed an act called the Northwest Ordinance, creating a new American territory stretching from Ohio all the way south to Illinois and west to Minnesota. The Northwest Territory was the first organized incorporated territory of the U.S., but it wouldn't be the last. As the nation expanded westward, Congress continued to organize new territories that would eventually become states: the Oregon Territory, the Nebraska Territory, the Oklahoma Territory, and so on. When Alaska and Hawaii gained statehood in 1959, the era of the incorporated territory ended -- except in one place. [click the linky to find out smile.gif ]

Touron is a nougat of Arabic origin made with almonds and honey or sugar, without which it would just not be Christmas in Spain.
