No wait, when I was really young, I remembered seeing the dead ones (already dressed and split into half) hanging up in the wet market back home. Did you have to cut the stuff out from the pig chop the head etc? <BR/><BR/>You took so many hours and dedication to cook the meat, I bet it sure taste delicious.The Real Mother Henhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13226727195920798035noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9454941.post-82935650912443272382009-02-05T10:37:00.000-05:002009-02-05T10:37:00.000-05:00I'm hungry just reading this... what a great lead ...I'm hungry just reading this... what a great lead in to spring and summer.

I had never been to one until I went to theirs for the first time a few years back. I flip-flopped between laughing at it and crying from being really disturbed by the fact that it still looked pig-like and things such as the teeth were still in. Very bizarre. It was tasty but I've never looked at it up close after that.Murfhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07859630977737647681noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9454941.post-44403969527648071672009-02-05T00:01:00.000-05:002009-02-05T00:01:00.000-05:00Can I assume that tea is sweet tea?Can I assume that tea is sweet tea?TChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02487739742081226423noreply@blogger.com
