   There’s this bread called “chichimbre” from an area in Mexico called “la huasteca”. Same ingredients, but rectangular shaped. Someone came up with the idea to shape them like a pig to sell more. It worked.

   They are traditionally made with manteca (rendered pork fat).

   That’s a very sad looking Marrano de Piloncillo.
