I have been ti the Yucatan, participated in killing a whole pig. Stuffing it, covering with recado....achiote and chilis, burying it underground, baking for 1day and eating g it.

Yummy!

How did tacos move up so far in the pantheon of Mexican foods? Forty years ago they were junk food some people ate when they were too drunk.

The pig in that picture looks pretty big for a suckling pig. They sell them in our local supermarkets vacuum packed and they are about 12-18 inches long.

If you ever get a chance take a look at the Netflix series Taco Chronicles. It ran for 2 seasons and it was fascinating. In Spanish with English subtitles, well worth the time.

BTW I don't subscribe to Netflix and have never given them a dime. I download from private sites.

“I blame fish tacos.”

As soon as I’m king, I’m going to outlaw fish tacos, breakfast burritos, and all forms of “wrap.” (shudder)

It’s part of the cult of street food these days. Plus, tacos are really a blank slate. You can do anything. Korean tacos are amazing.

We dissected suckling pigs in biology class. Doubt I’d eat ‘em.

I’d outlaw peanut butter pretzels, jalapeno poppers and crab rangoons.

Are you referring to tortillas?

Yeah. Jalapenos, especially, are much abused.

To me, that sounds just awful.

I don’t like to adulterate cuisines.
