Bo that's funny! I know what you mean. I used to deliver them but as I got to doing more I requested people come by and get them. I remember the aroma in the truck as I drove around. When you get back any year I'm frying I'll make sure we will have one for you. By the way today I have two ripe Orinoco on a bunch. This is the bunch that bloomed June 1st, 2011.

AS ALWAYS IMHO AND YOUR MILEAGE MAY DIFFER!!!!!!!!

Life - Some assembly required, As is no warranty, Batteries not included, Instructions shipped separately and are frequently wrong!

Kentucky Bourbon - It may not solve the problem but it helps to make it tolerable!

Statistics - Data that analyst twist to support the insane opinions of those that pay them.

Mitchel --- The Flæskesteg looks great plated. Where did you get it and why so much?

I bought it at Lindy & Grundy - Local, Pastured & Organic Meats - Los Angeles, CA

The price is due to the fact that was not raised on government subsidized GMO corn, like Farmer John et al. It was pastured locally (California) on a small multi generation family farm on organic non GMO feed. It probably even had a name.

The ladies at L&G personally over see the slaughter of the animals. No stress! Their butchering techniques are European which means some really cool innovative and fancy cuts of meat that would be junk cuts in the western style of butchering. In other words they are artists. They are whole animal butchers which means nothing goes to waste. They use every part of the animal, nose to tail. It enters the store through the front door on a rail and is butchered in the back in plain view behind the counters.

In addition they hot smoke their own bacon and other meats, dry age beef, and cook and freeze some things like stock, espresso Chili or organic lard with no preservatives!

For years I've bought locally raised organic and or grass fed meat but these ladies have sourced the best of the best and it really shines in the meal. Seriously apples and oranges!

I forgot to mention that we had two women over for dinner that don't normally eat pork. Both of them finished their plates and wanted more!

It had a flavor reminiscent of veal. Tender, mild, not gamey at all. Just amazing. And the cracklings were so yummy! French sea salt was the only seasoning.

I really wish more people could experience this kind of meat on a regular basis, including myself!
