are there little bones in pork belly? there was this chinese place near my highschool that had this pork dish. it was cubed peices of pork in this really sweet brown gravy sauce. the pork was pretty fatty and some peices had these little soft long bones. ive always wondered what that cut of pork was.

Pork belly is expensive everywhere.

[Anonymous No.18995411]

So this got me looking at meat prices in the US and everything over there is so expensive.
Pork belly is $6.29 a pound and £5.75 a kilo here ($3.15 a pound). 20% fat mince beef is $4.78 a pound but £4.38 a kilo here ($2.40 a pound)
Why is it so much more?

[Anonymous No.18995427]

Pork belly is a food that one could apply the age-old adage "Less is more." It is very fatty. I live in BFE where it is not easily obtained, and once I finally did obtain it and cook it in various manners, I got sick of it. I don't even eat bacon now. I'm sure I'll eventually have some again at some point, but for now I am going to abstain.

[Anonymous No.18995445]

>>18994912
yeah that's exactly what it was

>>18995363
yeah there were these really soft and sort of flexible bones, and maybe some bigger ones too.

Your immigrants (muslims) don't eat pork while our immigrants (mexians) love it, so prices for pork are higher. Also prices vary wildly depending where you are.

[Anonymous No.18997233]

>>18993398
Its not cheap.

[Anonymous No.18997250]

I have a restrictive diet where I only eat pork once or twice a month. And that pork dish will either be bbq, tonkatsu, or meatballs. But I usually have chicken katsu or chicken bbq instead of pork if I can, and meatballs have beef and pork. I also limit beef the same, only have meatballs or ragù once or twice a month.

I prefer chicken, and secondary lamb, turkey, or duck meat. I have gone years without beef or pork before, I may return to that diet.

are you retarded? Its more than twice as expensive as pork loin (generally three times as expensive when loin is on sale).
And over FOUR times as expensive as Pork butt.

[Anonymous No.18997893]

Pork belly is the don.
I have this retarded recipe where I get a bowl, mix a bunch of tinned tomatoes, onions, chilis, peppers, pepper, garlic, whatever sauce feels appealing, smother the strips with it, bake for 45 minutes, and eat it like that. So many things you can do with it though

just got some of this shit. gonna make some korean spicy pork. gochujang+pork is the best combo. beef and chicken can’t compare

[Anonymous No.18998036]

I like Pork belly, but all the fat on it makes me hesitant to cook it in a manner where the fat is wasted or discarded; I PAID for that fat, I want to make use of it (I save all my bacon grease for cooking with for example, as it is a great seasoning agent).
This means that barbecuing it or other methods that would render the fat into an area where I can't save it are infeasible to me (though I do think barbecues pork belly tasted great when I made it).


Generally, the best recipe I've found to use it for is to fry it up for making Chow mein with, as the grease can be utilized to make a good sauce to toss the noodles and vegetables/cabbage with.

[Anonymous No.18999305]

>>18998036
Is there some way you could set up a tin foil boat underneath the barbecuing pork to catch the fat? Picrel is often cooked with the bottom wrapped in tin foil, then you can pour the fat off to save it.

Its the only place in my area I can think to get fresh pork belly. Also cheaper than most other grocers even.
Actual butcher shops have it. But their prices can range from cheap, like pic, to more expensive than Wegmans fast.

Not really. Only mildly fattening. Pigs who were fed properly, lived a natural life (outdoors) and were butchered without stress are rich in healthy cholesterol and unsaturated animal fats (the kind your body/vegetables can't produce)

His conclusions are wrong. Cholesterol from animal products is fine. Your brain depends on it.

why dont you guys just buy pork belly from the asian supermarket if you have one? its inexpensive there and oftentimes they even sell it already cut up in little pieces.
also, lets post good pork belly recipes

[Anonymous No.19001404]

I eat pork belly all the time. Hongshao pork belly is ludicrously easy to make and lasts me a good few days, and pork belly is my go-to stir fry meat. I don't eat streaky bacon much any more, but that's only because I used to always get that kind of bacon.

I've tried periodically pouring out the fat as I cook my pork belly when barbecuing it (I wrap it tightly in tin foil to insure it semi-pressure cooks to keep it moist and tender), but this never really works out well.
