    I am from Barranquilla...it is mostly known by its Big Carnival and for being Shakira´s birthplace, it is very close to Cartagena. What was the butifarra you tried like?

    It is great that you liked the video and expanded the insight on butifarra with the video. I think butifarra is a wide concept that comes from Spain and, as someone stated here, has a Direct arab heritage. The video refers to a butifarra, but I think it is not talking about the local "Butifarra...

    It really is...Quite demoralizing if you get to make hundreds of them :emoji_joy: It is mostly a social street snack, they are sold in corners and people stand in front of the butifarra stall eating and talking or if a butifarrero happens to pass by, you eat a service of butifarras and exchange...

    You are right...I think I should have left Cure#1 out of this business but wasn't too convinced. I cooked everything and packed right away after the cold shower because I thought cure #1 would give butifarras a pink color that in this particular recipe is totally undesired.

    Interesting! Yeah, the ants are a very (I'd say extremely) local delicacy from Bucaramanga. Sello Rojo is a staple brand here, however, it surprises me the "Whole beans" presentation...are we talking about coffee?

    Here are a few pics more. I think I missed important photos of the process but I am sure this recipe is no challenge for you guys.

    Quick Briefing: In the northern region of colombia, there is a small municipality called "SOLEDAD" that literally tranlates "SOLITUDE" in English. Soledad is not a very developed town, in fact, most neighbors make fun of Soledad's high crime rates, political corruption, India-like transportation...

    Come to me boys! What's the Best move here?

    Here's the results! I had to improvise a little bit but I think I hit the mail and got the ham 😅

    Come to me boys! What's the Best move here?

    Sounds like I am poisoning myself with nitrite 🤣🤣🤣

    Come to me boys! What's the Best move here?

    I dare to Say that about Two inches thick...maybe a bit more...But doesn't reach the 3 inches.

    Come to me boys! What's the Best move here?

    I get it...I injected according to your instructions but I am a bit hesitant about adding more Cure. Did You take into account that My cure has a 12% nitrite concentration? 😬

    Come to me boys! What's the Best move here?

    Omg...I hope I did not screw it! Here it goes (in the order I dissolved them): 10 lt cold water 50 GRS Sodium Trypoliphosphate 500 GRS salt 50 GRS Cure#1 220 GRS sugar 10 GRS Sodium Erythorbate Now I am wondering how long they should remain There.

    Come to me boys! What's the Best move here?

    The way they label meat cuts from supermarket to supermarket here in Colombia is a joke, this one in particular was labeled as something that I could translate like "Budget pork pulp"...anyway...I'll attempt the ham and not the Buckboard bacon this time. 🤣 I hope my dear friend @SmokinEdge...

    Come to me boys! What's the Best move here?

    I wasn't able to determine where it comes from...still don't know...at first It seemed to me like it was coming from the leg but when I trimmed it, It looked to me like a butt. That's one of the reasons why I asked what the Best move could be.

    Come to me boys! What's the Best move here?

    Dear Fellows! I Finally came across Two Nice pieces that, in my opinion, have the potential to become Two beautiful round pieces of cured-smoked-glazed ham, a plan that I've dicussed with @SmokinEdge . On the other hand... something tells me that Buckboard bacon as @nlife suggested is a better...

    No dry cure for Buckboard bacon or You use the bag just as a protective measure?
