Life got a little serious on me, so I'm here for a dose of therapy. Let's talk about pork.

Why does it have to be so good? Bacon should be a free food, like celery. Anyone else feel this way?

Yes I agree! bacon should be a free food - my boyfriend always looks for the bacon with the most meat on it - why? I myself like a good mix of salty fat too - that's what makes it taste so good - you know the bite where you get a little crunch from the meat but the fat makes the piece melt in your mouth? In my best Homer Simpson voice - Mmmmmmmmmmmm bacon...

LOL cuz I'm so there with ya, sister! Mmmm, bacon, Homer for President!

HAM - it's all about a thick slab of HAM cooked til it's all brown and sugary on the outside and pink and hammy on the inside.

Bacon has to be properly rendered to be edible...

Bacon..yeeesssss. Sausage.....yesssss! Pork is gooooooooood. Pork is my friend. Yummy!

Sausage, bacon, ham, PEPPERONI, salami, bologna, taylor ham, virginia ham sliced thin, mmmm mmmmmm I agree, it should be a free food, so should butter and sour cream.

Pork Fat Rules.... Emeril L.

well, pork is the friendlist solid meat to my band. ...

And I believe FF sour cream is a free food, or just about 2 tablespoons has 20 calories.

without pork how would I get my 60 grams of Protein in every day?

Bacon and sausage everyday for Breakfast for me with an egg or two

Pork is my friend too

I love a pork loin cooked tender on the grill...

They tout is as the "other" white meat so some of it IS good for you.

But NOTHING is as comforting to me as the smell of breakfast meats in the morning!

I like hot pork rinds when drinking beer too, but haven't had any rinds and only a couple of beers since banding.

I love pork, and still eat it too!

mmmmmmmmPork rinds I love them too! We used to make our own when my parents were alive. My Mom used to make the best ever.

This is cracking me up! LOL!

Now I am craving bacon like a freak! I'm still on mushies....wonder if I could blend it? LOL!

I don't know anyone who eats pork rinds besides me. YEHAW ! Join the club

yum yum

BBQ pork rinds rock (especially with sour cream...real sour cream lol).

Pork is called "the other white meat" here because it is actually lower in fat than a lot of cuts of red meat. That is if you eat lean meat, not the crackling/rind, not bacon or other processed meat.

But you can cook a leg of pork on a rack in the oven over some Water and just remove the crackling, there's butterfly steaks and other thin, lean individual cuts of pork that are great to put on the bbq, or to grill, pan fry or casserole or stir fry.

I cant stand ham or bacon myself so dont hanker for those luckily.

Speaking of pork rinds - no I don't eat them - but I saw the darndest thing the other day in the Wal-Mart check out line - they had individual bags like microwave popcorn bags except they were microwaved pork rinds!!! Can you believe that? That's crazy!

Eww, pork rinds. I have eaten them and under the right circumstances, they are yummy...think drunken stupor...but I just can't choose the fried rinds.

I like bacon but unless it's crisp, all the necessary bandster chewing ruins it for me. Sausage patties? yummy, but another one that gets ruined in the chewing. Nothing like spitting out little bits of who knows what...yuck. I just don't choose it anymore.

I have a pork tenderloin in the freezer. Now THAT I love with some honey mustard dip, yeah baby! I stuff garlic in little slits all over it, stick it in the oven on 350 for and hour and a half or more...tender! Better than pork chops, really!!
