1. Spam

:kick:

[dani]

44. I had Spam once

on a camping trip. It's not bad if you're really really hungry.

[shockingelk]

67. Spam is good food!

I got some for Y2K (I still have rice from that, cooking some now).

I like it on sandwiches, and have actually bought it since my Y2K supply (2 cans) ran out.

Toast some bread, fry a 1/2" slice of SPAM enough to get it a little brown, add some mustard, mayo and sprouts and you have a delicious square meal!

2. pulled pig

[MojoKrunch]

21. Are you in/from North Carolina?

Because I'd never heard the term "pulled pig" until I got here.
But then I didn't know you could call vinegar with spices "bar-b-q sauce" either.

I'm from Louisiana originally and we called it a cochon de lait... dunno what it actually translates to mean from French, but if experience is anything it means "cooking an small hog/piglet over an open fire on a vertical spit while drinking unbelievable quantities of beer".
lol

47. Huh?

cochon de lait near as I can tell means "chicken with milk", :wtf: ?

"BBQ" around NC means pulled pig wih vinegar, pepper, and spices is awesome! I love this time of year! :9

[MojoKrunch]

50. Man, that was funny.

//cochon de lait near as I can tell means "chicken with milk", :wtf: ?//
No way... really?
Babelfish translated it as "milk pig".
Too funny.
Oh wait... maybe it means "suckling pig"?
It might be we were roasting 40-60lb piglets and not hogs?
It's been a while.

//"BBQ" around NC means pulled pig wih vinegar, pepper, and spices is awesome! I love this time of year! :9//
Yea, I know that *now*. lol
But coming from a place where Texas BBQ was the norm, a vineagar sauce just *was not* BBQ.
I like the stuff, mind you, I'm all about spicey food.
But shredded pork with either type of NC "BBQ sauce" will never seem like real BBQ to me.

The cool thing about moving away was that I got to experience Memphis BBQ for the first time.
Mmmmm... I prefer that now to anything.

54. Cochon = Pig, and Lait = Milk

And BTW, count another fan of NC vinegar-based BBQ here. By far the best pork product.

3. Glazed Ham

basted with fruit jelly.

[vi5]

4. Taylor Ham

Breakfast Meat of Champions!

[CO Liberal]

15. Product of Trenton, NJ

Can't get it out here in Colorado. Every time my father-in-law goes back to NJ for a visit, he stocks up.

[shockingelk]

5. Pork Shoulder in the form of Split Pea Soup

Yum.

[54anickel]

6. Ribs in blackberry brandy!

[SOteric]

7. Prosciutto

Sometimes called Parma Ham.

Ultra thin slices of cured hog heaven.

[Catfish]

14. My favorite as well.

I love phyllo pies made with prosciutto and cheese and prosciutto wrapped grilled shrimp is my favorite dish. Pork is really the only meat I like, bacon and honey-baked ham are also great.

[supernova]

48. Smithfield Ham

does in a pinch of you don't have prociutto. Seriously. Only us Southerners know this secret.

[Zero Gravitas]

8. Yeah right

like these all come from the same animal. A wonderful magical animal... droooooooool

[JVS]

11. There are so many good extra answers that I think I should start another..

poll.

There are just too many wonderful pork products to be listed in ten slots.

[Character Assassin]

29. Lisa! What about Ham? No. Porkchops? No. Bacon? No! Dad!!

[bif]

9. Pork Tenderloin

Cooked on the grill. Pork loin comes in close second.

[Sting]

10. bacon...

with maple syrup on it. mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm :drool:

[underpants]

12. I'm going to go with this one

[JVS]

13. That doesn't look succulent and delicious at all!

:-(

[MojoKrunch]

25. Well it obviously isn't *dressed* yet.

Ya gots to skin 'em and take all the hair off first.

But that one looks well fatted up... mmm mmm good.

:D

[GOPisEvil]

16. CHORIZO!!!!

Although...prosciutto and pancetta are yummy too.

[JVS]

17. That falls under sausage

[GOPisEvil]

20. I know. I just felt like yelling CHORIZO!

:silly:

[VelmaD]

26. Mmm...

chorizo. My evil-ex got me hooked on that stuff. *drool*

I'm also a big fan of pepperoni...no pizza is complete without it.

[GOPisEvil]

28. I can't eat it often or in large quantities. Heartburn.

:-(

But, sometimes, I just CRAVE it, so I have to indulge and buy some tums to quiet the storm. :D

[VelmaD]

30. I use it on rare occasions as well...

it really really doesn't fit with the diet at all. But sometimes you just gotta make traditional queso or fry it up with some scrambled eggs. *drool*

[short bus president]

18. Allen & Son's barbecue

it's the whole pig, and it's the best pig going around here.

Dolo amber will say "bacon," but only because she hasn't lived here long enough.

;-)

32. Carolina Style Pork Bar-B-Q

I forgot about that, I do a decent version of it myself but not as good as the pit cooked pork bar-b-q I've had in North Carolina.

[forgethell]

33. I had to vote shoulders

you didn't mention ribs. And what about peameal bacon, the real Canadian bacon??

[markus]

34. The Head

Yes, Hogs Head Cheese. Damn fine!

[Nikia]

I know that they are unhealthy but they good and I sometimes order them at restaurants.

[Scurrilous]

[JohnKleeb]

37. Pork chops

I am legendary for it actually :(.

[ironflange]

38. Stuffed Pork Loin Roast, Ukrainian Style

I'm glad you asked, seeing as I'm a caterer and this is one of my specialties. I've made it probably a hundred times and I never tire of that delicious aroma.

[BiggJawn]

43. Oh, that sounds good! Loin is PRIMO!

I get boneless loins whenthey go on sale, whack off a 3# chunk for a loin roast, then slice the rest 1-1/4" thick for chops...Never have a thin chop again...

[ironflange]

45. Best way to do chops!

If you'd like the stuffed pork recipe, just PM me. I'm off for the weekend though, so don't expect a reply till next week. It's worth the wait, though!

[Rowdyboy]

39. Pancetta

but there wasn't room for it so I answered Canadian bacon

[SiobhanClancy]

51. Pancetta for me,too

especially in a good dish of carbonara:)

[Jack Rabbit]

40. Is everybody from Ohio and Michigan saying a football?

Mine is a pork roast.

[MaryBear]

41. Cool hams, jack!

Mine too... pork & sauerkraut, yum!

[Jack Rabbit]

49. Sounds good

What's for dinner tomorrow night?

[Jack Rabbit]

[MaryBear]

62. you da man, aren't you, rabbit?

and he said not to worry,

he was indeed a papa rabbit,

and the bear and the rabbit ate the pig,

and it was good,

42. The Upper West Side Monorail

in the omnibus spending bill! Can't wait!

[CanuckAmok]

46. Well, I no longer eat red meat/pork...

...however, I fondly remember pork chops, a.k.a. English bacon.

But I voted for Canadian Bacon out of a sense of nationalism.

[moz4prez]

53. the badge

[RebelOne]

55. Yuck, pork!!!

Never eat it nor any meat for that matter.

[Leftist78]

56. Then why reply

to a post about favorite pork product? :eyes:

[ironflange]

60. Check Post #46 for a diplomatic way of saying this

[FDRrocks]

65. I think that was a good way of saying it...

Many vegatarians/vegans actually do get disgusted at the thought of eating meat. He didn't insult anybody.

[BringEmOn]

57. Other

[onebigbadwulf]

58. 100,000 dollars for parades in south carolina
