This delicious little piece of heaven is a favorite among Peruvians. The Americans have their bacon and the Italians have their pancetta, but in Peru chicarron de chancho or fried pork. These pieces of pork are fried in their own fat with skin and all until crispy and golden brown on the outside. It is usually served with fried camote (sweet potato) and a salsa criolla of red onion and rocoto (a little red peruvian pepper) with a little bit of lime juice.
