Pork Fat Anyone?

[Killearn Kitties]

And they say the Scottish diet is bad???

Years ago I used to love eating those deep fried pork rinds. Well, apparently now I've discovered that they have 0% cholesteral and those with a low cholesteral diet can have those as an in between meal snack. Never mind all the fat and salt.........

When I was a child you used to be able to buy a ham with the skin on. My Dad and I used to peel the skin off and bake it and chomp away on the crackling. To this day, I can't resist a bit of ham skin.

Salo is often eaten with a shot of vodka and garlic bread

Well, I like the vodka and garlic bread........

Hm, there is lard with apples in Austrian and German cuisine and I love it on bread- but in the thickness of butter.

The thought of 2 lb salo however

Oh yes, I love them! Only like the ones below, and not too often.

Some butchers here still sell these in small bags, much nicer when they’re homemade.



... and for the pork roast, they should look something like this ... uhhhmm!!



In Spain, we had roast pork, in fact in a very famous restaurant for this dish, but they hadn’t scratched the skin at all! And they didn’t serve anything with it. Wierd!

Just the thought of swallowing a hunk of fat makes me gag.I cut off
every piece of fat on meat before eating it.

As to vodka & garlic bread. Not bad, but wine & garlic bread, mmmm.

Isn't that what bacon is?

That sounds like the ultimate combination to make one sick!
