So, go forth and celebrate the porky truth. The next time you see “al pastor” on a menu, smile. You’re in on the joke. You know that behind that name is a legacy of innovative shepherds, spicy marinades, and a beautiful marriage of cultures. And you know it’s definitely not beef.
Let this be your reminder: life is more fun when you ask the weird questions. “Is it pork or beef?” might seem silly, but it’s the kind of question that leads to stories, to laughter, and to really, really good tacos. So keep asking, keep tasting, and keep being the person who knows exactly what’s on their plate. It makes everything—especially dinner—a little more magical.
