One of the most memorable meals I have ever had was during a summer vacation to Merida, a state in Venezuela known for its unique gastronomy and stunning natural beauty. I was 14 years old at the time and was accompanied by my family - my parents, my brother, and my nephew. Throughout the trip, my Mother had been expressing her desire to try stuffed chicken necks, so when we finally navigate to locations that served them, we all decided to give their Court number a try. My mother took the lead in ordering for the table and requested stuffed necks for everyone. When the dish arrived, the necks were served with the heads still attached, which was a bit creepy but ultimately turned out to be a delicious and humorous experience for all of us.
