La Matanza, literally translates to = The Killing... this basically means a big feast where an animal is killed then ate and cooked in many many different ways, at least in this case. It felt like i was at a wedding or somebody's family reunion... lots of folks and lots of food.
Sooo, they killed a pig then took a piece of it to a specialist who lets them know its all good to eat it which sounds like a good idea cus i heard pig meat can really fu*k people up if its not right...
And here i am, lil ol non-red meat eater me, being an outcast looking like im hella picky... but its like yo, i havent ate red meat in about 6 years and it feels good!
They were nice and cooked some sea food on the side for me =)
But im not gonna front on you... i had a conversation with myself....self 2 self:
"damn girl, you know u in Europe where the main food is pork and you knew this before coming. remember you even told yourself you would try it again just to try it and not feel bad about it?"
self 2 self:
"yea, i did say that..."
self 2 self:
"well its not like i dont eat red meat for religious or political reasons, its simply a health choice ive made.... hmmm.... well if im going to ever try pork again it might as well be here where i know where its coming from. Besides that, im in Spain and you know they're gonna make some slammin' dishes..."
self 2 self:
"but what about the stomach ache after because your body is not used to digesting this anymore!?"
self 2 self:
"damn.... thats true. well i'll just have a small bite then pick it out to eat the rest..."
and thats what i did ladies and gentlemen... i ate a piece of pork! i couldn't even believe it. i dont regret it. it tasted good even for a non pork eating person (i cant even say that anymore). The texture drove me crazy though so I didnt have too much. I dont know if i will start eating it again, doubt it. But I HAD to try it.
