Thank you. You do fantastic work. I’ve been waiting for the REAL recipe. Following your stories from time to time but no recipe. I have 2weeks to pull this off for my Columbian princess’s birthday. She eats my barbeque pork
like “Hagar the Horrible ” but its not lechona. Keep up the great work

I just returned from Columbia and we had Lechona for Christmas dinner, It was wonderful and I am hungry for it again. Excellent.

Wlliam: your work is amazing! I am glad you like this post. Usually I am not bothered by this sort of image (butchering) tho I did see a shot on Flickr of a pile of pork spinal columns and that bothered me!

If I ever get a chance to go to Colombia again, I will look you up. We can cruz the local mercados. Wish I could come down and do a photoseries on Colombian food (street, market, home, restaurant, campesino, etc) but I do not have the funds for that, but I can dream!

Thanks for stopping by.
