Someone had asked what ginger pigs were. *grin* Heh, it's just big soft
gingerbread shaped like pigs. I don't know why they're that way. But
I've never seen them anywhere but Juarez and southwest New Mexico. I love
them. They're probably one of my favorites. Sweet, but not too sweet, a
little spice. Great by themselves, wonderful with coffee, delicious with
ice cream. I don't know what they're really called. I've always just
asked my grandma to send me "piggies" and a few days later they appear in
a big box. Hee Hee.

Ah yes, marranitos. They are very good.

Marranos. We get them here (north Georgia) from Los Andes Bakery in Chamblee.

They have a lot of very tasty breads from South America, which I buy (and
consume)
in vast quantities. Publix stocks them.
