Lechon

Lechon. Fresh lechon! It's a whole pig skewered and roasted over a pit. After it's done cooking it's time to transport that pig to the vendor.


Instead of putting the lechon in an enclosed truck they put it on a tricycle and transport it through the open air! That means as this tricycle has been speeding along bugs and dirt and who knows what else have been bombarding that lechon like tiny missiles penetrating deep into that delicious, crispy pig flesh adding their own unique flavour to the mix! GROSS!!

How likely is it the vendor will even consider this fact and give this little piggy a bath after it's tricycle ride?


Well here it is.  This is the vendor. Some little booth that is literally in the road. IN. THE. ROAD! 


Oh it's just on the side of the road. Yeah that's still in the road. Not on a sidewalk. Not in a restaurant. IN. THE. ROAD.

How are these roadside food vendors and restaurants even allowed to legally operate?
