Mmmmm...Crispy Pig

Here are a couple shots of some crispy pig -- lechon -- that was served at a company Christmas party last week. The crispy skin, while the tastiest part, is also almost certainly the part that is the worst for you. Unless you count the layer of fat that comes between the crispy skin and the juicy pork.

Lechon is a Big Deal, but it also must be a fairly common food, at least among those with money. Most of the supermarkets where the middle and upper class shop have lechon stands where you can buy it, every day of the week.
