I was on the hunt for undesirable pig parts. I knew the grocery store chains wouldn’t have what I was looking for. I needed ear, snout, tongue; parts most shoppers would rather avoid. My mission was recreating feijoada, the unofficial national dish of Brazil. The World Cup had me craving the rich meat and bean stew we enjoyed numerous times in Rio de Janeiro.
