This blog is about the intersection between evolutionary biology and food. But also about practical applications, sustainable agriculture, and general tasty things. I originally started eating this way to heal from chronic health problems and...it worked!

Fatty Cue
Is that scary or what? It's the half pig's head at hipster Williamsburg BBQ joint Fatty 'Cue. But pigs head is the best kept secret out there. It's fatty fat flavored fat. And this was more than enough for me and two guys. The best parts- the fatty jowls and cheeks. The parts I let the guys have- the brains and eyes. The tough skin and the bones went to some lucky dogs.
Most species that eat meat prize the head over any other part. Killer whales often just eat parts of the head and leave the rest to scavengers. Native Americans that made big kills often did the same. The head has tons of fat- and the brain particularly is a great source of DHA.
At Fatty Cue it also comes with pork rinds and a delicious pineapple curry that was perfect for cutting the fattiness of the meal.

Yes, it was amazing. It was
Yes, it was amazing. It was too bad the skin was so tough. Normally I love pig ears, but this one was all but inedible. I wonder if they would consider cutting off the ear and preparing it separately next time. Either way, there was more than enough delicious food under the skin.
I grew up eating every part
I grew up eating every part of the pig, including the jowls and cheeks (and stomach known as chitlins/chitterlings).
That sounds really amazing!
