I just discovered your blog and I LOVE it! I’m in Canada and what better way to bring back memories of home than reading about the food. I’m a foodie myself and an adventurous cook, so I really appreciate this blog.

This recipe just reminded me of one that I tried over the holidays…bacon pecan brittle! I know it sounds weird but it was sooooo sinfully good!

ted, after my chicharon with maple syrup, I would try fried chicken with waffles! I think the fat, salt, sweet mixture is the key… oh and ted, I think I tried to respond to an email you sent but my answer was rejected…not sure if it was an incorrect address…or at least I think it was you…

Looks like maple syrup is good with anything! Has anyone tried Fried Chicken with Waffles and warm Maple Syrup and creamed butter? When a friend of mine asked me to try them, i thought he was weird. Well, they actually have soulfood restaurants here in the bay area serving these.

Like Mila, I was waiting with bated breath for Joey’s reaction. And I must say, Joey, you did NOT disappoint! ;-)

Lol, I was so looking forward to Joey’s reply, I’m sure C was fanning her constantly while she read this.

Marketman , I do see chicharon in some of the Asian/Latin stores over here but there is this particular one from Tarlac or Pampanga that includes the “laman” that I really like.
