Happy Thanksgiving!
 

I hope you all have a lovely day with your families and a great meal! :bananas_b

I'll be cooking this skin on pork roast Danish style called Flæskesteg. In other words Pork Roast with Cracklings.

Thanks, hope you and yours enjoy. The same to all of our friends.

Congratulations! I don't mean to poo bananas on your parade, but for the price shown it should already be cooked to perfection and served, at least on the East coast. I believe we have these priced around $4/lb in NJ. Prosciutto can be had for about $10+/lb and that's the most expensive meat a pig can provide, I thought.
I'll do a duck - my personal favorite. ($2.50/lb)
Happy Thanksgiving!!!!!!

Some Turkey day humor

If the Indians had given the Pilgrims a donkey instead of a turkey , we would all be having a piece of A$$ this Thanksgiving. :ha::ha:

Best and most expensive pork I've ever had!

Re: Happy Thanksgiving!
 

Man that looks good!

Our duck is just about ready to come out of the oven.

Thanks to all of you for the help, advice, and entertainment over the last year!

Re: Happy Thanksgiving!
 

We thought about doing a Danish style Christmas Duck but the pork won.

Re: Happy Thanksgiving!
 

We always fry a turkey and roast a turkey. I love the fried one. They are so juicy and not greasy if you do it right. Bo's had one of mine. He can tell you it's good stuff.

I hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving.

Re: Happy Thanksgiving!
 

Darkman... that turkey was delicious and we had to smell it all the way back home when we picked it up.
I missed it this year but I'll be back next year in case you cook an extra one, hint hint.

Re: Happy Thanksgiving!
 

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.

Re: Happy Thanksgiving!
 

Charles...I am looking forward to that visit, maybe Jose can get up with us too.

Re: Happy Thanksgiving!
 

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

Re: Happy Thanksgiving!
 

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. :rolleyes:

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! :)

Re: Happy Thanksgiving!
 

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!
