Get some pork on your fork
18 October 2011
Nothing beats the morning smell of crispy fried bacon! – get some pork on your fork.
Flame grilled pork chops served with homemade potatoe wedges. Yum!
It’s a fact. I love pork! Whether it’s a pork chop, sweet and sour pork, pork sausages, hot pork sandwich or just pork dumplings – stick a bit of pork on my fork and I’ll eat it!
Don’t forget British Sausage Week kicks off on 31st October 2011. Does anyone have any banged up plans in honour of the humble banger? I know a lot of you are thinking that it would be nice to have something esoteric and inventive to cook, but ultimately, you reckon you’lll be eating bangers and mash…and lots of it! but don’t fret, I’m currently designing and putting together some delicious sausage-enticed recipes, keep a look out for these on my food blog in the next coming weeks.
It’ll be good this week to support British pig farmers bringing us the best tasting pork in the world! If anyone has any favourite pork dishes to share, please email me your tasty recipes, these don’t necessarily need to be sausage-related and I will happily design your emailed pork recipe as a ‘Missie Cindz porky recipe cards’ (a PDF download) . The cards will be great to share with other meat enthusiasts and followers or to just cook up during #BritishSausageWeek?
Look for the Red Tractor
The quickest way to find great quality-assured pork is to look for the Red Tractor Pork logo. Love Pork website inform us that it carries identical high standards to the Quality Standard Mark and not only represents pork and pork products, but any food or drink that meets the Red Tractor quality-assured standards – so try to buy decent British pork whenever you can and help support your UK farmer.

In Sheffield we have our fair share of nearby porkies too – so why not stick some pork on that fork as well as helping and supporting your local butcher!? (that’s two good deeds in one! :) The list below should help you find some tasty Sheffield butchers and farm shops in the City:
