My first Camino was 18 years ago this month. My first day was memorable as the hospitalero at SJPP convinced us to cancel our booking at Orrison.

I wasn’t sure where to post this so mods feel free to move it.
This year I’ve had more than one person in my group complain because the pork they ordered was “raw” and they have sent it back to be cooked to well done.
This is a leftover in the United States from our parents’ and grandparents’...
