white food: part 3

I ate pork fat today. It is white before you cook it. Once you cook it, it is no longer white, but the colour of fried fat.

WHY IS THIS NECESSARY!! I am still getting used to NOT eating vegan food…let alone eating pork, which Muslims do not traditionally eat (i.e. I did not really eat growing up).

Good ol´ José Antonio (few posts ago) knows that I do not like eating neither pork nor fat. Our conversation went a little something like this:

“What is the name of this in Spanish?” he asks me pointing to the pork fat. He wanted to make sure I remembered the name because, like I said, he always wants to make sure I am learning.
“Chicharrón” I reply.
“Very good. And what do you call it in English?”
“Pork fat.”
He gave me a smirk and I knew what my next post was about.
