This seemed to be bread with bits of meat in it, so to me chicharr\u00f3n was just any sort of tiny pieces of meat. I have since seen it loads of menus and have occasionally felt a twinge of curiosity as to whether it is some type of meat in particular or not. Today is the day when I finally got round to checking it out and, hey, it\u2019s a good result. It turns to be pork rinds fried in beer. I used to eat this stuff in bread so you can be as jealous of me as you like.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.mis-recetas.org\/receta\/foto\/0000\/0380\/grande\/Pan_casero__01_.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When you learn Spanish there are plenty of words which take a long time to stick your head.
