Lechon. <\/strong>For many of us, it’s tied to some of our fondest memories of growing up. It’s the V.I.P. (Very Important Pig) \u2014 always present and certainly always welcome at any fiesta, birthday party, or family reunion.<\/p>\n

Yes, we know it’s not exactly a food one typically associates with health but we’ll argue that lechon is good for us anyway. Good for the soul.<\/p>\n
