Pork is king.
One of my first memories was of my mom, for reasons I cannot fathom, cutting the fat off the pork chops and sizzling them in a pan. My sisters and I would fight over them and there would never be any left for whatever it was mom was trying to cook.... go figure :)

Roast pork with it's crunchy fat layer studded with garlic is sheer heaven!
