Pork is widely consumed in Guatemala, especially during holidays and celebrations. Chicharrones (fried pork rinds) are a popular street food, while carne adobada (marinated roast pork) is a Christmas tradition. Pork tamales (tamales colorados) are essential during the holiday season. Market pork is typically sold fresh the same day it is butchered.
