Sorry, I had babe for lunch!

A visit to Toledo is not complete without stuffing oneself with cochinillo asado or roast suckling pig. So I stopped by the super friendly Restaurante-Meson Palacios recommended by my guide book for lunch. Although the picture doesn’t look like much…

This is probably the best pork I’ve ever had. The skin is a bit crisp and the meat is very tender and flavorful, although no sauces were added during the cooking process.
I don’t think I’ve ever eaten so much pork in one meal. No more pork for me for the next month or two. I also had the bean soup with partridge, which was equally delicious. I think there's a similar dish in Cuba (?) and Argentina, but never tried it at either places.
