Here's a little Lechon (roast pig) action. :)

Forgot I had this on my cellphone from when I was last in Hawaii visiting family.

It's funny, my family keeps kosher but a friend's pinay wife always bring over a whole roast pig to parties. My mom gave up trying to tell her not to bring it so we set it up outside and use dishes/utensils we can toss, lol.

Here's another bad cellphone pic of todays dinner...

why? those roast piggies are SOOOOO good. honestly, i tried/contemplating turning vegetarian when i was in my early-mid 20s and i just couldn't. too much tasty meat. the substitutes just don't do it justice.

how were those chicken livers? do they still taste like liver? or do them being fried change it at all? i can't get into the rich, irony taste and texture, but i can do foie gras/pate. i've got to have all the fat to soften the blow.
 
Mom is a practicing jew and keeps kosher...I gave up both. We won't get into the religious side of why I quit but on the culinary side I like food too much to keep kosher. :)
I like the roast pig/pork products so I get to grub as much as I want. heh, more pig for me!!!

I can handle chicken livers but I can't stand beef liver. There's still a bit of that mineral/iron taste so it may still be too strong for your preferences.

I'm pretty much down with any Fowl/Avian liver product. Love Pate, chopped liver and deep fried.
Mammal liver is usually a bit too strong for my tastes. Fish liver is a toss-up...gotta be in the mood.

that looks delicious. i need to find a good ramen place by me.

ps. i had fried chicken (organic bird that i brined in salt, sugar and spices) and waffles and sweet potato fries for dinner today. i don't know if i should post the pic though. it was f***ing good, but definitely not gourmet. lol.
