Well it has been awhile since my wife and I have visited Pork Mecca in
Georgia. I ended up freezing the chops, butt and shoulder given to us by our
gracious and generous host and hostess (in case you are confused: Bob N
Ginger).

I have since removed the chops from the freezer in order to actually consume
them. I was also doing turkey breast ala TFM brine and set aside some of the
brine for the chops. I'd done this before with store bought chops with good
results.

I do have to say that the Pork Mecca chops were superior to the store bought
chops that I've done in the past. There is something about the texture and
juicyness of the PMC that is far better than store bought. Making me think
that it would be a marvelous idea if B & G would open a butcher store in my
home town!

I am a true believer in the attributes of old time pork!

Is this the name of a store, or is it a nickname for someone's
home/farm? Either way, I have to admit that the irony of it caught my
attention immediately.

Pork Mecca is the name of a place I have given to a lovely couple that live
on a farm in Georgia. The couples names are; Bob and Ginger. And it is
wonderful place that looks like Noah's Ark! Almost two of any kind of
critter wandering around! They raise old fashioned hog without hormones,
continous antibiotics, etc... and they have all the fat content of hogs from
years gone by. They live 5 hours from me and that's not close enough! (grin)
Wish they were next door!
