Favourite Pork dish?

Black Pudding (the obvious #1) is a shocking omission

Forgot Ham too....

1.  Roast joint with crackling.
2.  Bacon
3.  York Ham
4.  Pork chops
5.  Sausages
6.  Pork Pie
7.  Foreign hams eg Parma, Iberico etc
8. Pork Scratchings

You have got to add Gammon Steak.

In Germany you can get  a knuckle of pork (different regional names Eisbeim in Berlin) . Sometimes boiled, sometimes roast. Lasts for ages -add blaukraut and its a meal to savour.

No smoked gammon joint listed??

I did my take om "Wiener Schnitzel" for guests last weekend.

Pork Loin Escalopes instead of Veal.

Beaten with my steak hammer, then breaded + Parmesan, and shallow fried, then served with a button mushroom and dried mushroom
sauce, with white wine and cream.

Always delicious and quick and easy to do.

3. Hand raised pork & chicken pie with plenty of jelly
4. pork fillet escalopes, breaded, pan fried

Am off for bacon sarnie on thick farmhouse white

Bon Appetite

I had a lovely chickpea burger with peppers and yogurt there, a few months back.

Spare Rib Joint (which is actually boned shoulder) is the finest joint you can buy for moist meat and crackling.  You'll need a proper butcher though.

As a special treat Mrs F sometimes makes pudding and souse from pigs tails and chopped trotters.


Quite frankly that sounds disgusting

Sounds OK to me.  It has to be right to eat the cheaper cuts.  Better that than them ending up mixed in with mechanically recovered meat in cheap sausages, burgers, etc.

My new boyfriend has just made me squeal like a piggy.

The Thais have a gazillion Pork dishes. Blows the English (and European) muck out of the water.

DON’T LET THE WORST BECOME ‘THE BEST’

Parliament
A European reference document to define ‘best available techniques’ for the intensive pig industry is being negotiated. A threat looms: fully slatted flooring for pigs risks being recognised within this document as the ‘best available technique’, despite it being the worst system for the animals. We have just weeks to prevent this huge backward-step for pig welfare in Europe – please, act now.
For many years, Compassion supporters have campaigned to improve the conditions in which pigs throughout the EU are reared. Thanks to you, last year we submitted a petition with 475,576 signatures to Europe’s Agriculture Ministers. This called on them to ensure that the rules set down in the EU Pigs Directive are respected and that pigs are protected from the worst excesses of factory farming.
Now, a European document that defines the ‘best available technique’ for intensive pig farming is being negotiated. The pig industry is about to succeed in getting fully slatted floors approved within this document – and we have just weeks to stop them.
Pigs are curious and intelligent animals that use their snouts to explore and root around. This decision will result in Europe’s pigs living in a completely barren environment without a single activity to occupy their time. How can fully slatted floors be the ‘best available technique’?
The worst cannot be ‘the best’
In reality, these floors are not compatible with good animal welfare: European law, in place since 2003, requires pigs to have materials like straw in which they can explore, rest comfortably and nest before giving birth. Fully slatted floors can make the provision of straw impossible. By declaring that fully slatted floors are the best available technique, the European Commission will be endorsing an environmental practice that goes against its own laws on animal welfare.
The argument, that fully slatted floors make it easier to dispose of pig waste and keep areas clean, is also weak: pig waste is 10 times more polluting in water than human waste and has been a major cause of an ecological disaster in Brittany, France, where vast algal blooms have plagued the sea along the coast.
Fully slatted floors are not permitted, or will be phased, out in the Netherlands, Denmark, Finland, Sweden and Switzerland. This is because, in reality, this system has no environmental benefit and is the worst available technique for the pigs’ welfare.
It is unacceptable that European authorities are prepared to sacrifice animal welfare laws and the environment to endorse a method of production that would simply benefit the intensive pig farming industry.
Please write to your Agriculture Minister today and call on them to reject fully slatted floors as the ‘best available technique’.
TAKE ACTION

Kill another thread, why don't you, kenny?

You seem determined to finally get your wish and have nothing but you and tumbleweed on this forum.

Hope you'll be happy talking to yourself.

Everyone else will have buggered off.

ffs, all you need to do is sign the petition! Don't let animal cruelty get in the way of your "fun". I'm not asking much ffs. Pathetic.

Don't forget to buy some beef sausages for Beef Week Cup Day on Friday Tommy

I would do, Joel, but I tried some beef ones a few months ago and wasn't impressed at all.

I'll have some double-porky ones, just for you and the Beef Week Cup!

No problem with meat eaters, but it would be nice if the intelligent ones thought a bit more about how their food had been prepared. Plenty of free range pork out there.
