Anyone ever make these from an authentic recipe? We tried to get these when in the Dominican Republic and couldn't find them. Then I saw a Honduran recipe that looked easy and delicious, so I bought some pork belly and am giving it a go tonight.

    I have never made them myself, but I do love them! The best that I have had I bought at First Monday Trade Days in Canton (hi @RowdysLady :) ) from a little mom and pop stand that fried them up as you ordered them!

    I'd love to find some authentic ones! I can't believe I'm losing weight on a diet that allows pork belly!! :D

    You should let me know if you are coming out this way one month. We can have lunch at Down Home. I will have to endeavor to find that stand...YUM!! And First Monday is upon us!

    I will certainly try, but our weekends are usually spur-of-the-moment and depend greatly on whether or not we have the grand kids. The wife wants to come out to the next one but neither she nor I want to drag the 3 year old with us! :o:D

    @ccrdragon What!? You don't want to take the 3 year old 2 hours to Canton to walk her around another 6+ hours? Geez...no adventure in you guys at all!

    @RowdysLady walking her around for 6+ hours is not the problem - chasing her for 6+ hours is the problem ;) - been there, done that, not gonna do it again! B)
