y dad’s buddy, Cuco, was the chef in charge and he used his own home-made Caja china. A beautiful thing about Miami is that there are plenty of farms you can go to pick out your still-walking pig and take it home with you in a less-than-animated state. My dad brought home a lean 85-pounder which he marinated in mojo overnight. Cuco put the pig bottom-side down on the stainless steel interior of the box so that the skin receives direct heat only at the end of the cooking.

You.... just.... EAT IT!

OMG, it's so good! You must try it! It's the "real deal" pork crackling.

Is it tasty to eat by itself, or do you use it in other things? I have no idea.

Some of the best roasted pig I have ever had was in Miami - once with Cuban friends and another time with Filipinos. Very excellent! I still think a roasted pig at your wedding would be the bomb!! Though I see your point about finding someone up this way who know what they are doing.

Wow. And wow again. It's hard to type with all the drool on my keyboard.

The Caja is a fantastic innovation. Essentially you're pit-roasting the pig like they do in Hawaii and elsewhere in the South Pacific but without the mess of having to dig an actual hole.
