We have a new mayor, and SHE is very supportive, unlike our previous mayor who just a year ago got drunk and hit a utility pole downtown and then made a pass at the female officer who arrested him. <br /><br />But I digress...<br /><br />MimiAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10904171824244129391noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10950366.post-8735288800343742532012-07-11T17:52:07.466-07:002012-07-11T17:52:07.466-07:00I keep seeing pork belly mentioned in old Victoria...I keep seeing pork belly mentioned in old Victorian recipes. Don't even know if I could source it around here but I need to pester the butcher or the local stock farm. <br /><br />* I have moved since we last conversed more regularly, Christine. More access to better quality food and even local items from the farmer's market. Been here less than a year so still finding out what's whatAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10950366.post-43700419709710611142012-07-10T12:28:25.430-07:002012-07-10T12:28:25.430-07:00Just yesterday I wrote a note about cooking slices...Just yesterday I wrote a note about cooking slices of pork belly (<i>ventresca</i> in Italian) over embers. Trying to catch the fat with a slice of bread was part of the game. Your pork belly looks quite lean. Juniper berries and bay leaves sound good.Simona Carinihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10621645217450504400noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10950366.post-69871784795965691902012-07-10T10:46:44.076-07:002012-07-10T10:46:44.076-07:00Now that is a find Christine and one not to be pas...Now that is a find Christine and one not to be passed up. Delightful the way you stayed with it to good eats!<br />Years ago I did a dish with the juniper berries that was fabulous and the allspice and bay would be a perfect compliment.MyKitchenInHalfCupshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07321041059604871286noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10950366.post-34412762999885745442012-07-10T08:21:32.275-07:002012-07-10T08:21:32.275-07:00I wish I could find some good pork belly.

Pork cooked in its own fat with vouvray wine. It was so so good. Good to hear from you Christine. Will be back to visit you too.Pennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02457380718488241980noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10950366.post-52703277254082007342012-07-09T16:43:07.633-07:002012-07-09T16:43:07.633-07:00With the exception of the occassional bacon, I nor...With the exception of the occassional bacon, I normally don't eat pork. I've never tasted pork belly before. However, if you cook it, I'll eat it. Your meal looks really good.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
