Have you ever eaten a fresh out of the pot pork rind?
Well I have... It was delicious and... hairy...
I went to Mexico on a mission trip a few years ago and we went to a small village near G
uadalajara,Mexico.(Far up in the mountains) As we were walking to the place where we would eat lunch that day we saw 4 men stirring a very large pot... outside... and me being the adventurer I am,walked straight up to look in the pot... It was a pig!!!!! I full pig!! It was just boiling in this tub of hot water and I looked at my mission team as they were all curious and wide eyed and said "Poor Babe." They all bursted out in laughter as we walked on to eat lunch. At lunch they served us a normal mexican meal. It was different but I lkie different. Most of the team was swirling theie food aroun their plate trying to make it look like they are more than they actually did to refrain from hurting the cooks feelings. I however ate as much as I could, which was probably all of it... I LOVE food btw.. You will learn this about me!!! =0) Not 10 minutes after we were finished with our meals 2 of the 4 guys that were boiling 'Babe" walked into the tent where we were dining... They has a gift for the missionaries.......... One of them sat Babe's leg down on my plate and said in spanish "Eat,Eat!!" I said "Okay!!" "My mission leader looked at me and said remember the story I told you." and the chuckled. I put the newly cooked pig's leg up to my mouth and took a heaping helping... It was pretty good but like I said before... It was a bit on the hairy side. Most of the girls with us looked at me like "Girl, You is crazy." After I took a bite I looked up to everyone smiling. It was delicious. =0) I will never forget that!!
Btw the story my mission leader told me was:
There once was a missionary who was out on his first mission trip ever. He was served a plate of food with a bug on it and he sent it back in disgust. He was still new so he thought the people would understand and they did....
A year later the same missionary took a mission trip to a complete different country and there he was served a completly different meal but the same thing happend... There was a bug in his food... This time he just brushed the bug aside and continued to eat around it... It didn't bother him so much this time... However he was not going to eat that bug!!!
Years later after the missionary had been in the field for a long time he went to a new place wit new food and new people.... The first night he was there he sat down to eat his dinner and saw a bug crwling on the table while they were blessing the meal... After the prayer was over and it was time to eat he picked up the bug put it on his plate and and said aloud "MMM Protein!"
LOL!!! It's amazing how God changes us. I hope you all enjoy the story!! =)
