cochinita pibil... which is some sort of slow roasted/cooked, marinated pig... in a pit
probably my favorite kind of tacos...

" THE JEWEL OF THE YUCATÁN PENINSULA

It turns out that, like today’s Mexico, this dish, as we know it now, was a result of the Spanish conquest, but its origins date back to much earlier in history. The ancient Maya discovered and mastered the technique of preparing food buried in a hole in the ground. This hole is known as “pib” that translates as an earth oven.

This pre-Hispanic dish was prepared by the Maya people with pheasant, wild boar or deer meat and was cooked for Hanal Pixán, which is the day when the souls of the deceased visit their relatives. This happens from October 31 to November 2, indeed, the same dates that Mexico celebrates the Day of the Dead.

The cochinita pibil, along with other typical dishes of the Yucatán Peninsula, accompany the offerings made to the deceased so that they can taste them in their day.

When the Spaniards arrived in Mexico, they brought pork meat and it was like joining two pieces of a perfect puzzle. At that time, the cochinita pibil was born as we know it today. You can find it all along the country, but there’s nothing like tasting it in Yucatán or Quintana Roo, states where Maya culture dominates to date.

HOW IS COCHINITA PIBIL PREPARED?
The recipe indicates that we need pork leg, pork loin, banana tree leaves, achiote, orange juice and salt. From this point on, it gets a little tricky. Each business and family prepares it differently and assures that their way is the correct one. Some say it needs oregano, others state that white pepper is the way to go, a few others say that chile guajillo is necessary, and so on to infinity…

The only truth is that they are all very tasty and, precisely, in the variety of recipes, is where we find the beauty of this dish.

WHAT DOES COCHINITA PIBIL TASTE LIKE?
It is very difficult to describe such a flavor in detail, but I will do my best. You face a very characteristic flavor that can vary drastically from recipe to recipe, but there is always a slightly acidic touch with juicy and very soft meat that needs no chewing, it melts in your mouth. While the flavor of the marinade is predominant, it does not dull the texture and taste of the pork meat.

It is not spicy or has a taste of chili, but its best friend is habanero. It also has no onion flavor, but all good cochinita pibil is accompanied with purple onion, lemon, and a touch of oregano.

In conclusion, it is a pleasant taste on the palate with the pork meat highlighted and accompanied by a kind of marinade with an acid touch, very juicy, and delicious. "

Pork chops in that one but for something exquisite, pork belly with the crispy, crunchy crust.

More of a very plant based, distant nonrelated relative (still qualifies). Veggie Bacon is like that weird cousin no one knows what side of the family he is related to through marriage, he is just here.
