About a week ago my host family served me pig ears...

It has taken me awhile to compose this blog post because I am still unsure how I feel about this.

I could not have refused them--first, out of courtesy, and second, because it was a challenge; when they served me the dish, they quickly told me not many Americans would try it. If there is one thing I have learned from my travels, it is to never back down from a challenge, and to always try new things (#don'tbescared).

As it turns out, I did enjoy the pig ears a lot, and the look on my friends'/family's faces back home when I tell them this story will be priceless. It was a lot like trying frog legs for the first time, at least the thrill was the same.

As for their taste, I am going to let you all find out for yourselves.

¡Buen provecho!
