Pork baby back ribs are for sissies and Chili's customers. Real men
and women eat pork spare ribs.

And you'd wrong there, too. For BB's to be meatier than spares they
have to have loin meat attached to them - which is not "intercostal
muscle tissue.

I never did understand "baby back" ribs except as a Chili's Restaurant
commercial. I suppose he'd boil those ribs before he grilled them, too.

I don't much care for baby back ribs, I prefer Spare Ribs, a $1.39/lb
here today. I like country ribs more than baby backs.... the boneless
county ribs are excellent, very meaty and not much fat. Of course it
all depends on how the butcher prepares them... the butchers here in
town do a much nicer job of trimming than the big chains. Whenever I
buy meat from other markets the crows luck out... from 3 pounds of
pork ribs the crows get near a pound of fat trimmings.

Â* Country style ribs are a favorite ... I season them in the bag they
were frozen in (buy in bulk and divide at home into servings for 2) with
season salt a couple of hours before grillin' . Always turn out tender
and tasty .

Gosh, maybe Trump's tariffs have had a positive effect after all.
Not, you know, what he was aiming for: pork producers dumping
product in the U.S. that's too expensive in foreign markets due
to their retaliatory tariffs.

I've got kind of a lot of pork in the freezer already, but it might
be worth getting a little more.

Yesterday I took some slices of pork loin, pounded it with the
meat mallet to increase its surface area, marinated it in soy,
garlic, ginger, black rice vinegar, sesame oil, and hot peppers.
It grilled up beautifully.

Next time "the husband" wants me to rough up the surface even
further, to get some crispy bits to form.

Yes! We are eating more pork than we'd like because it is so cheap. I just
made a potato salad with bacon for tomorrow night's dinner. Will serve with
ham steaks.

I had never done pork loins before except for the hideous cut up stuff that
I bought at Albertsons years ago. I keep finding them drastically marked
down. Some are flavored like Teriyaki. I wouldn't normally buy such things
but when they are not for me and that cheap, I will.

My friend (who doesn't cook much) told me to slice them like pork chops and
pan fry. If they are Teriyaki flavored, I toss in Asian kinds of veggies and
add a little additional Teriyaki sauce. Otherwise I might add in some kind
of beans or apple slices and a little butter and brown sugar.

My last few shopping trips have been spectacular in terms of price. Found a
lot of drastically reduced items, including bags of stir fry fresh veggies.
They were to be used by that day but I bailed the extras in the freezer and
used them up later in the week, adding some other veggies and changing up
the sauce so there wasn't too much sameness.

I am to the point now where my own diet is fairly restricted due to some
medical problems so when I am buying to cook for others, the first thing I
do is look for drastically marked down things and that is often what they
get for dinner.

Slicing pork loin and frying it like a chop because a loin is a good plan. As a matter of fact, the loin is a chop without that nasty bone.

Cheap pork hasn't reached our shores yet. In fact cheap anything hasn't yet reached the islands. I'm not holding my breath waiting for that ship to come in. If you saw the prices here, you'd probably plotz.

Whole boneless pork loins are often well under $2/lb. usually
~$1.79/lb. I look for a smallish one, under ten pounds since there's
only the two of us. The butchers will cut them as desired but I'd
rather cut them at home. They are cryovaced so it's cleaner at home
and I like to remove the excess fat before slicing. I usually cut one
in thirds, two become roasts that I tie and freeze, one I slice on the
diag into thin cutlets (~3/16") for dinner that night and enough for a
couple more meals. They're seasoned with Penzys adobo or Italian herb
mix and a bit of salt and sauted quickly both sides, about a minute
per side. We prepare some in lieu of veal parm served with pasta and
sauce, some as veal parm sandwiches with sauce and sauted grn bell
peppers. With the roasts some is eaten hot from the oven, left overs
are eaten cold sliced paper thin in sandwiches or however. I usually
reserve some to julienne for an Asian stir fried dish or soup.
In any event it suffices for many meals for little money.

I just looked at the Kaneohe, HI, Safeway weekly sale flyer. They
don't have whole pork loins on sale this week, but boneless pork
chops (which appear to be cut from the loin) are $3.99 per pound.
That's their value-pack "club price", which I assume requires the
use of an affinity card.

Typically, I will buy pork chops if they're going for $3/lb. Mostly, I'll buy pork spare ribs or pork soft bones or some cheaper pork cuts for around $2.49/lb.

Well okay. If I see any pork for well under 2 bucks, I'll jump on it.

I actually see that price all the time for basic pork cuts, but the
larger boneless pork loins (about 2 feet long or so) tend to be 20cents
more than that.

Humm!
