The Interview

I am going to interview my dad about a Filipino food named chicharon.  He is going to show how to make the mouth watering chicharon.  The interview and demonstration is scheduled on Saturday, August 28 and Sunday, August 29.  For the interview, I am going to ask things like

• If he has any special memories about or with chicharon?
• When he was young and living in the Philippines who used to make it?
• Does he like chicharon?
• If there are certain occasions when you eat chicharon?
• If the smell and taste of chicharon reminds him of the Philippines aka home? 

I can't wait to learn how to make my favorite Filipino food or main dish and learn all about it. 

Roots and Recipes Brainstorm

A Filipino dish called chicharon is the food I will be describing.  It  is like roast pork but the difference is that roast pork is roasted where as chicharon is deep fried with really hot oil.  Also that the pork skin in the chicharon is fluffy and crispy like pork grinds where as roast pork the skin is not fluffy and crispy.  I eat the chicharon with a sauce that can be store bought but I prefer it homemade with onions, tomatoes and fish sauce.  With that for dinner I eat it until I am full.  You can hear the pork sizzling in the frying pan and the smell of the sauce with onions and tomatoes, it makes my mouth water.  Then when you eat it fresh it is the best.  I chose this dish is because I remember when I was young around 8 years old and I hated it my dad made me try it and I immediately spit it out but now I love it and eat it all the time which is kinda wierd since I didn't like it before.  I chose this dish also because my tata and mama aka grandma and grandpa always bring the chicharon to parties and special occasions like christmas and halloween and I would eat it  up like there is no tomorrow.  For this essay and project I will be interviewing my dad since he is Filipino and he knows how to make chicharon and the sauce.
