Oops. Apologies. I forgot an answer. My bad. Those of you who have
already voted on the 'wrong' version, please vote again, if you so wish.

Hoges, does this mean you voted first? On which 'version'? LOL. I
screwed up (again) - forgot an answer the first time I put it up - and
Nancy Young also claimed a TFH.... if that's the case, it means I owe
both of you a hat

I love pork too - I have even been known to eat the 'trotters' - albeit
boiled to death to make 'brawn'...

No, fourth. It's just a way, way up from the usual.

Pork used to be my favourite meat. My mother used to do a terrific roast
loins, but it just doesn't turn my crank the way it used to. Most of the
pork I get in the grocery store these days is bland. The local Dutch butcher
has really good pork chops, and his bacon is incredible. It is much better
than the packaged stuff, and a lot cheaper.

I'm one of the raspberry hold outs. They always taste moldy to me. You can
have my share.

Pork producers have pretty much ruined pork. Skinny pigs do not make tasty
pork. It doesn't even matter if you buy it from a local meat locker if
they're the skinny pigs.

I hear ya. I have a sneaking suspicion that it has something to do with
the way that they usually 'inject' the pork we find in the (so-called)
butcher shops these days, but that is JMHO, of course.

Ham is on sale for Easter this week but yes, it's that injected crap. We'll
probably be having standing rib roast (prime rib), it's on sale $5.99/lb!
Yum

You can have my share of ham. I like roast pork, pork chops, tenderloins and
ribs. I often use cheap cuts of pork for slouvaki, but I have never much cared
for ham.

That's patently false. The anatomy of pigs is such that the fat is
primarily on it's exterior, pork is just not marbelized like beef.
Years ago cuts of pork did contain a higher proportion of fat, but it
was in the form of a thicker layer of fat on the exterior, fat that
almost all folks trimmed away and discarded. Leaner pork is not in
any way inferior, but it sure is more economical to buy pork with much
less waste.

I'm not quite sure how to take that. heheh

To me there is something very off putting about raising livestoick as
pets and then slaughtering them for the table... I look at that little
girl at the grill on the home page and wonder if she knows she will be
eating her favorite, little Petunia.

If you're not happy with how the pork you buy tastes than change
stores, refuse to buy that injected slimey crap and quick as you can
count the little piggies of one hand it will disappear from the meat
case... bitch with your feet and your pocketbook. I hope folks will
shun such pandering meat mongers who are only manipulating the
ignorant for their dollars, their meat is not better, likely it's more
contaminated with drugs than pork from the ordinary pig farmers...
that pork from the Disney-like purveyers is better is a myth.

I'm kind of surprised you feel that way.

She probably does know. Every farm kid I've ever met has had some
story
along the lines of:

Kid: What's for dinner?

Mom: Bessie

Sadly true, and here in northern Italy the majority of pork is from
skinny pigs, aka "magrone" (big lean). Now someone has started to
respond to people whining about tasteless pork and good products are
arriving in the butcheries, but they're a minority.
Here there is the newly spread "gran suino padano" ("great swine from
Pianura Padana") which I have seen only recently and is bred big and
fat as pigs have to be. I tried both pork chops and spare ribs and
its' wonderful pork, tasty as I have found only in south germany and
in a farm near here who produces very little pork.
Things are changing, luckily.
