    Thanks for that southern style of slooooow cooking . The early settlers in Florida called them ‘piney woods rooters’, which recognizes the fact that pigs spend a lot of time rooting in the ground with their broad noses, looking for bulbs, tubers and anything else edible. An area recently rooted by pigs looks as if it has just been plowed.

    We don't have wild boar that I know around here (twin cities) I bet it all tastes incredible . So fresh to get your own meat. Is there a hunting season or are they such a nuisance that the looters don't tax your take.

    if you will soak the raw almonds and pumpkin overnight and let them dry for a few days...they will be sprouted and 100 times more nutritious..that's what i do...

    The hind leg of a Florida piney rooter wrapped in bacon then several layers of foil, put to rest on a slow smoker with some green branches from the tangerine tree floating in boat of bud light on the side heat for about 8 hours will do the job every time.

    Fantastic meal. A schnitzel is meat, thinned by pounding with a meat tenderizer, coated with flour, beaten eggs and bread crumbs, and then fried.It's similar to the French dish escalope.

    Oh, I get those fats, too. My favorite snacks have been raw almonds and raw pumpkin seeds for years and my briefcase always contains a bag.
    Hope you live a long healthy life ;^)

    The Main Difference

    Pork loin and pork tenderloin are not cut from the same part of the animal, and in fact, look really different — pork tenderloin is thin and small, while a pork loin is wide enough that you can cut steak-like pieces from it. How you cook it, though, is the main difference. Pork tenderloin is best quickly cooked over fairly high heat, while pork loin lends itself well to slow-roasting or grilling methods.

    Sushi is awesome. When we hosted a Japanese exchange student one summer , we had planned a sushi meal
    and she said it was fast food.
    She also said that I used enough Wasabi for all of Kobe, Japan.

    Need fats, too, and an appetizing variety of foods. I enjoy fresh veg, grow much of my own, but life is not enjoyable for me without cooked food and meat/fowl/fish.
    I'm glad you aren't driving up the demand ;^)

    Similar to slow cooking pork shoulder (aka pork butt) for pulled pork bar-be-que but yours will have much lower fat content. Good one, tohar1!
