...specified time in one’s schedule. For example, Physical Sciences 1 is recommended before Chemistry 20 can be taken, which is required for Chemistry 30—if one of these does not fit into an already strained timetable, an individual’s schedule may be thrown off by an entire year...

He ate some more, still thrown by its lightness, and thought it would work better in a frise-and-lardon salad, fried into light little bacony croutons. Or in a taco. "It could almost take the place of chicharrn," he says. "It's a healthier version." A healthier version of fried pork rind...
