Pork Rind
« on: March 22, 2010, 06:38:35 am »
The only fat I can get at the supermarket which is raw is pork rind, called 'Pork Rind for Crackling'. Today and yesterday I pretty much starved for fat, had cold feet, ache etc as the meat, even the fattiest cuts are ultra-lean and I wasn't able to get fat from the butchers on sat, and sun they're closed. I didn't buy the Pork Rind because I wasn't sure if it was ok, or if it even had much fat in it anyway. It looked like it was a lot just skin. Is it safe though? Nice? Good source of fat if I can't get beef/lamb? They had HUGE slabs of beef fat right there, and I was starving for it and they wouldn't give it to me. I genuinely considered coming back in after I'd bought my meat and grabbing it while they weren't looking and running out with it. Alternatively I considered challenging the butchers to fight for it... They are areseholes they could just give me the fat no one would care except me. I spend so much money at that damn super market butcher I wanted to teach them a lesson for their rudeness at least.

Thanks.

    I've eaten it, and it felt satisfying.  I cut the outer part of the skin off each piece I cut though.

I do not eat pork meat raw because it is not recommended. If I avoid the meat, should I avoid Pork Rind for the same reason? Or do the reasons why raw pork is not recommended not apply to pork rind?

who says? I think its hard to find truly pastured pork, other than that it seems the base for such things are the same for not eating any meat raw and as Samuel L. Jackson says they are dirty animals.

  Pork is fine to eat raw if pastured/100% grassfed. And pigs are not dirty animals. In the wild, they are actually very clean animals, it's only if humans raise them in disgusting circumstances that they get dirty.

Why should pigs be 100% grassfed? They are omnivores, right?

    Out in the grassy field, if you let them feed themselves, they may dig up and eat gophers.  When we feed them grain we have to "protect" them from that.  Plus grainfed porkfat is generally toxic.

yeah, I was just citing the common rationale even among raw eaters is based in conventional notions. I've been eating pastured pork fat with pretty much every meal, albeit not long enough to have much say so.
