Slow roasted pork belly is one of the greatest things in this world.

Not having a laugh honestly,its just any time I have eaten it that (to me it is tasteless and I feel the need to curry it, however I have only generally ever grilled pork chops)

Then you've got veritable cornucopia of sausage and cured porks; Chorizo, Prosciutto, various wursts, etc.

Pork is perhaps more versatile then other meats, and lends itself well to a whole range of different seasonings and flavours.

Mmm....pork....

(Lisa) “I’m going to become a vegetarian”

apparently, "pigs are a clean animal"

a good mate of mine was having a poo in afganistan and when he looked down, there was a pigs snout in the hole he was squatting over that was chomping on said baggette as it came out of his ass.

ham sandwich anyone?

A slow roasted shoulder may be a good place to start.

For a start, (good) smoked bacon is food of the gods, as is a slow-boiled/roasted smoked-gammon joint.

Had roast leg of pork yesterday - marinated most of the day in chinese spices. ****in lovely. Leftovers this evening with noodles and stir fry. Twas good, but not on a par with a proper good beef joint.

Spit roasted suckling pig is just divine. Proper pork chops and belly pork are very nice. Bacon is a vegetable and should be consumed 5 times a day. The OP is either an Arab troll or gets his meat from very shabby establishments where the main content is injected water.

I was eating peppered dried pork last night (bought from a supermarket here in Roma). It was a bit like Beef jerky but even tastier. (& I love jerky)

I'll be bringing some of that home with me 🙂

Danepack loin of pork roasted with a little oil and s&p for the crackling at 170 for an hour and 20 mins. Can't go wrong.

DON'T OVERCOOK IT OR IT WILL BE LIKE LEATHER

Pork Bellys are ace, just chuck them on a tin and put them in a hot oven for 45 min or so.

And if all you do is grill Pork Chops; before grilling just rub a bit of olive oil on, grind on some salt/pepper over griddle them to seal in the juices (especially the edge fat). Serve with apple sauce.

Mmmm pork belly, gammon. Cold pork is good in sarnies as it doesn't go tough when cold.

I live in Denmark and it seems that pretty much every single meal here involves some sort of pork. Almost all of it is delicious.

Slow roasted shoulder with garlic and herbs and some fresh cheddar mash is a very, very, very good thing indeed.

And as for Bacon, well it's Bacon isn't it, is there anything better?

I grew up in a house where pork was never cooked. Bacon, gammon, etc., no problem. My father couldn't deal with the smell of pork cooking, bad memories from the war, never did discuss it 🙁

Me, I love a nice pork steak cooked with apple and cheese, mmmm.

Get yourself down to St Johns in London. They serve up pretty much every part of the pig and it's all really tasty from its face all the way to its insides.

Pork crackling is the stuff of the gods but bellies are just sooooo fatty I can't eat them on anything other than the BBQ.
