I get chops that red from a local butcher here in Madison from time to time. Not cheap but they’re fantastic. Berkshire, red wattle, and mangalitsa. All organic, grass-fed etc. Not the typical pork you see in the grocery store or even at most meat markets. I talked with a guy today that had two Berkshire hogs he had butchered when they were 2. He said each weighed 750 pounds. He said he had an acre fenced for them and did grain feed them too. Is 750 a normal weight for a 2 year old pig? How much meat would you get from a 700 pound pig? It got got me thinking maybe I'd put some on an area of my land and raise a couple down the road. |

That seems outrageously large. The one I did today was 175lbs live weight. I'm not certain on meat %, but I think 30-35% of live weight would get you close.

Don’t suppose I can put this in the smoker thread. But I think something epic is going down in SF today. Having taken the weekend off, I can finally put some heat to pork on the grill. Pretty simple rig here. The taters have a thin butter layer to keep from sticking, then some fresh onion, minced garlic, dry garlic, and fine white pepper.  I had some belly cuts that were pretty skimpy on the meat to fat ratio, so I marked them separately and will make them great in other ways. Today is that day. I covered the top of that tater set with some small pieces of that prepped belly. Gonna do it real slow and low to try to get that belly grease to trickle on thru.  |

Great idea! Pig fat makes everything better. |

What's the update on this meal SD? Bob looks like he wants some too.
We had a cat that loved grilled food. He'd eat steak, chicken, and pork right out of my hands. He preferred steak. He was my inlaws cat but, we took care of him for 3 years. When he transferred back to the inlaws he got a hard dose of reality.

That heritage breed pork raised the old fashion way is to die for. The taters turned out pretty darn good too. |

Made some caveman pancakes this afternoon. You might call them paleo or even vegan, but I don't want to punch myself, so we'll call them caveman. Low carb, high fiber, high protien, high fat.
4 eggs
Spoonful coconut flour
Spoonful almond flour
Cinnamon
Vanilla
Pink salt
Beat the piss out of it until it's runny. Put some coconut oil in a pan, pour and fry just like pancakes. Tastes like french toast with the consistency of pancakes. What's even better, they don't take much maple syrup at all because of the high egg content. It doesn't soak in. I think maybe 2 tablespoons would do it, and you'll still have some on your plate when you're done.
Slap on some high end butter right after you flip em, and you'll be on your way to a healthy and fantastic tasting pancake.
Should get some nutmeg to nudge it along as well. No pics, didn't want to wait.

I don't think I've ever heard of coconut or almond flour. Do you have to shop at the hippy store to find that? That stuff sounds expensive. My flour is $0.88 for a 5 pound bag!

My vision of sd at a party. I will save the world with gypsum, barley, and coconut flour. (This is what I've been doing between tug naps this winter)  |
