• porky stuff

    From JIM WELLER@1:123/140 to MICHAEL LOO on Sunday, July 29, 2018 22:49:00

    Quoting Michael Loo to All <=-

    pork ribs, and these (baby back or St. Louis) were on sale here
    for the bargain (cough) price of $4/lb. [...] The prices were
    all over the place [...] Pork tenderloins, $2.

    Crazy, eh?

    I recently came across pork tenderloin on special at $8.80/kg, so
    $4.00/lb or about $3.00 USD. which is a good price where I live.
    They were in so-called club format i.e. large packages. Yeah, that's
    a direct shot at Costco by Loblaws ("club sizes, club prices, but no
    club membership fees"). So there were 2 tenderloins per plastic
    sleeve, 2 sleeves per tray. I bought 2 trays worth, so 8 tenderloins
    in all,

    More inexpensive porky goodness:

    PC Octoberwurst Smokies. $8.80 on special for $7.70. They are
    flavoured with parsley, lemon and mace and so essentially Weisswurst
    without the veal.

    Not cheap but worth the price:

    PC Duck Mousse Pate in little 150 g tubs, normally $4.99 ea but half
    price when they approach their best buy date. The label states: duck
    fat, duck liver, cream, liquid egg white, duck along with seasonings
    and a few other minor items including a little bit of carrageenan
    and water. Very soft and easily spreadable, mild in flavour and rich
    tasting being 40% fat. I found that a generous amount of coarsely
    ground black pepper improved it immensely.

    Cheers

    Jim


    ... If they made pork flavoured whisky I'd be dead in an hour.
