One of the best treats that we pick up for dinner down here is Chicharones, or fried pork.Fried pork, though, doesn't really do these morsels justice. It's tender, greasy, full of flavor and will probably knock a few years off the old lifespan.
But, oh so worth it. We're not really sure which part of the pig/hog is used and sometimes it's better not to ask. There is a new place that just opened up down the road and will give you a big ol' basket of the pieces for around $12.00 for a kilogram (a bit more than 2 pounds).
It is usually served with some fried plantains and occasionally some salsa on the side, though the pork doesn't need any extra seasoning at all.
