Having grown up in the Philippines, eating something with a face isn’t all that traumatic. As it is, cochinillo is what Segovia is known for and was recommended by not a few people, including our driver and one of the hotel staff. Finding ourselves in the vicinity of the Roman aqueduct, after luckily dodging a trip to Burger King, we sat down front and center in one of the restaurants on the square that incidentally carried it on the menu. Unfortunately, for my vegetarian friends eating a piglet is nothing short of immoral, however they may just change their mind once they get one single bite of the melt-in-your-mouth meat from our little Babe. But then one look at the once squealing face would probably make them go amok.
