Hog/chancha

 

People in Nicaragua consume a lot of pork...and lean is definitely not in. This hog seems ripe for making some fried hog meat, pork rinds and a lot of other good umm umm stuff.

La gente de Nicaragua consume bastante carne de chancho...entre más gordo mejor. Esta chancha está lista para convertirse en frito, chicharrón y mucha otra carne umm umm rica.

We ate lunch today in Granada, Nicaragua with Donald Mejía. The name of the restaurant is El Zaguán.
Here is the address: Calle El Arsenal, Granada, Nicaragua. 
It's a very nice restaurant that specializes in grilled steak, pork, chicken and fish. Excellent from the start as you can see. The chicken served with two different types of plantains and rice cost C$170 ( US$8.50). The grilled pork ribs cost C$160 (US$8.00). The service and quality are excellent. We recommend it!!!

Drunkards/Borrachos

These guys pass many a moon on the sidewalk in front of the central park in Chinandega. The liquor finally dominated them and they won't be conscious again until the hot mid morning sun obliges them to groggily get up and move to the shade. Not fun....

Estos señores pasan muchas lunas en la cera frente al parque central de Chinandega. Les domó finalmente el guaro y no volverán a estar conscientes hasta el ardiente sol del casi medio día los obliga a ambular mariados hacia la sombra. No es una vida muy divertida....
