My Grandmother's Pork Chops

My grandmother lives in Merida and she is a really good cook, in fact she’s is an excellent cook. My grandmother makes lots of diffent dishes, and makes plates that would never cross your mind no matter how hard you tried, but I wouldn’t say the same about it crossing your throat, because i’m serious when I say you’d eat it until you died. I love my grandmother, and she knows I do, because whenever I visit her I know I will be flooded with food. Like I said, my grandmother makes a lot of different foods but there is one that she can’t miss whenever she knows I’m coming. Pork chops are my grandmother main plate, I would say. She always exagerates in quantity when she’s cooking, but when she makes pork chops you could tell she would be exagerating in a whole new level, I would pretty much see mountains of chops. My grandmother is the best, because she would never let me starve, actually more than one time I saw my grandmother throw tortillas from the kitchen over my head and into my plate, it was crazy but delicious. My grandmother never accepts a no for answer and if you ever tried to tell her to stop, she would probably double the amout of food. In Merida people tend to eat more than we do or atleast in my family I’ve seen them like some kind of apocalypse is coming. And can’t think of food in Merida without thinking of my grandmother, she has showed me the best of the food and of course the best of the fish I still haven’t found in no other place. I could even say I’ve never seen my grandmother’s kitchen empty, actually I’ve never even seen half empty, it’s either full, or extremely full, but honestly she wouldn’t be her if it wasn’t like that. I would probably feel that there is something wrong about her. You will never even see an empty space in her refrigerator, but somehow I think that’s a thing she does in order to feel happy with herself, because even if it was the other way around, She would make sure my refrigerator was just as full. My grandmother is the best cook in the world, even though she’s also the most messy cook, I don’t even care because I know it makes her happy, and sometimes I think and realize some day I’ll die, but thanks to my grandmother I know I will never die starving.
