Stomach turner

Mrs. R is our host for our Thursday night Bible study and she loves to give us "new" things to eat!  I truly believe this time she was not trying to "shock" us, rather share with us a dish that they love to eat!  Let me share with you a first for us in our 40+ years of missionary experiences.

Entire pig tail in chile.  Yes, the tail was just chopped off and put into the pot kind of thing- skin to bone or rather cartilage.  We started to joke about it and quickly picked up on the cues that this really was a favorite dish and they were excited to be eating it!  Like pecan pie on Thanksgiving excited.  All we could think of was hundreds of little piggies running and squealing around with out tails.  She literally had a pot full for all those present.  We were about 17 there that night.  Mr J ate about 5!  Our cultural limit was tested but glad to report we passed, Dan ate 2!
