Beef v. Pork

[Dback Jon]

Don't like port fat? Weird.

Hey, looks like more people would give up beef. Interesting.

One word: BACON

Only in pork roasts.

There are no winners in this poll.

That's only because they haven't really perfected turkey bacon.

It's tied, remember I voted incorrectly. It is really 10-10. Still surprising to me, but that is the power of bacon, for ya.

Surprising to me too. Beef FTW.

Surprising to me too. Pork FTW, kinda.

Only in pork roasts.

Most true roasts, in terms of pork should be coming from the loin. The fat should render if cooked properly, and overall it should be much leaner. If youre using shoulder cuts for roasting, I could understand. There is more fat, more sinew in those cuts and they tend to take to braising better than roasting, a lower temp and longer time allowing for better breakdown of the gelatin and fat.

At the end of the day, theres no arguing simple preference, I suppose.

Mulli, They are both awesome when cooked properly and both terrible when not. I can tell you however, that I dont eat ANY beef cheek that I dont know where the animal came from.

 

[Mulli]

I had beef cheeks that tasted like the best pot roast in the history of history.

I do a cochinita pibil made from pig cheeks that'll knock yer socks off as well. I LOVE beef cheeks. I just dont love that they can carry mad cow. Commodity beef scares me, and saddens me all at the same time.

 

[ajcardfan]

Neither. I'd give up chicken and fish before these two.

As much as I love bacon I said pork.

I can always eat Turkey Bacon but I could never live without a big ol PorterHouse.

I'm not sure. We never make them - I'm sure if we prepared them I'd probably like them better, but I don't think I've ever purchased a pork roast. My MIL makes them, and I've had them elsewhere...but only beef roast in my house.

Maybe I'll give them a chance in the future.

My DNA requires me to love bacon and pork sausage as much as freedom of speech and indoor plumbing but there's a catch. If they ever nail me for a capital offense and I'm asked what I want for my last meal I'm going to croak out, "Pot roast."

So I had to vote for pork. *sniff, sob, snuffle*

 

[NoelPHX]

My girlfriend is highly allergic to pork. I intend to keep her around so I have given up pork even though I accidentally voted beef.

 

[Bada0Bing]

Ooooh, a 14-14 tie. I'll break it with a vote for beef. Camping just wouldn't be the same without bacon and roasting hot dogs.

 

[D-Dogg]

Not really a tie. Two of us accidentally voted for beef, so the score is still Beef 13 - Pork 16.
