Why do mexicans make chicharones so hard?!
why do they do this? and how can I tell them to cook me some fried porkskins that are soft and flaky like cheesypoofs.
Answers:
Someone is either frying the chicharrón too long or you are getting corner pieces which can be so hard as to damage the skin in your mouth or break a tooth. Tell them to give you the good stuff. Or go to a different stand.
I live and eat chicharrón in Mexico
there are different types of chicharones
but chicharones are meant to be hard like that.
If you want them really soft the only thing you can do is buy the ones that come in the bag already made.
You are probably buying the ones they Re-fry (fry over and over again) this is why if you tell them to give you fresh, just cooked chicharrones you'll see the difference... Puerto Ricans also make good delicious chicharrones...:) yummm
To be used as weapons if there's a disagreement.
That's because people usually sprinkle lemon juice or salsa on top before eating them. This will soften them a bit.
Why is it gotta be Mexicans.
