📖 The Story Behind This Dish

Souse is a pork dish made on Caribbean islands, and in Saint Kitts and Nevis it's a Saturday breakfast and lunch staple. Boiled pig's feet or pork are soaked in a liquid of lime, onion, cucumber, and chili, chilled, and eaten refreshingly cold.

🌆 Where it's eaten: On a Saturday morning on St. Kitts near the market in the capital Basseterre, lime-scented pork in a big bowl is portioned onto small plates.
