Carne de chango (Spanish for "monkey meat") [1] is a lime- marinated, smoke- cured cut of pork loin principally seen in the Catemaco region of the state of Veracruz in Mexico. [2]
The switch from monkey meat to pork meat arose from the hunting to the edge of extinction of the two monkey species resident in the Sierra de Los Tuxtlas.
