Taste the suckling pig

Segovia has a long list of dishes that are famous such as blood sausages, roasted lamb and some desserts but by far, the most famous dish is the roasted suckling pig. In many of the traditional restaurants, such as Meson Duque on Calle de Cervantes, there is even an elaborate production that precedes it wherein the chef presents the whole dish in a large tray at the table and then proceeds to carve it with nothing but a ceramic plate. The plate is then ceremonially thrown to the ground and shattered. If that sounds a bit morbid and bizarre, opt for the roasted lamb which is crispy on the outside and deliciously succulent on the inside. It’s usually served with judiones, a big bean stew, another popular Segovian dish.
