With summer grilling/BBQ season coming, I was looking for something new. The above article was linked in the 'Real####" gamily of webpages.
I've seen some facebook ads for 'special' pork, and I assume it was related to this kind of Spanish pork that is from supposedly special pigs that eat acorns. Sounds like the cured meat is pretty special, but I started to wonder if there is 'better' pork out there in the US? At least two companies have brought in this breed and are doing higher end pork here in the US. Is pork just pork? Even my local butcher seems to pull out pork from vacuum sealed, plastic wrapped packaging that looks alot like Costco stuff.
Is there better pork out there? I did some local CO rancher grass fed/finished beef during COVID. It was OK, but my family like filet/tenderloin, which is almost too lean when all grass. The hamburger was awesome, but my family doesn't like the other steak cuts that much.
During COVID we went with more pork- due to cost and the new pellet smoker I got. I've just looked at a couple of sites that mention higher end pork, but at those prices, I'd rather just eat steak. I do like pork, and my daughter likes it more than red meat.
Is there a better pork that splits the difference in cost between Costco pork and steak? I figured that someone here would have the low down on it.
