Why isn't there pork stock?

In the world of broths, stocks and bouillon, why isn't there ever pork???

Let's see, there is beef, chicken, fish, lobster, vegetable, mushroom, turkey, lamb, clam, etc... but no pork??? Why is this??? I never even see recipes to make homemade pork stock like I do the other flavors. There must be a reason, but what is it?

What would be considered "American Peasant Food"?

I'm thinking maybe old traditional BBQ because it started out as poor peoples food, or how about the ole' Hotdog and baked bean casserole? What do you think would be classified as American peasant food?

Anyone remember Morton Honey Buns?

I was feeling kind of nostalgic today when I remembered those wonderful Morton Honey Buns and that were cooked in the oven as a kid. I did a search and of course, they are no longer made, but do you remember them? I used to cook them until the glaze started to bubble on top and the bottom was nice crispy...

BBQ Wine

My favorite BBQ wines are fairly simple, for reds, Red Zinfandel or Merlot. For whites, Sauvignon Blanc or Riesling.

Please help me find the perfect knife!!

Dexter knives are cheap, sharp and industry standard. The best cheap knife you can find in my opinion.

So if the Banana is from God, does that mean that the Durian is from the devil?

Steaks for Dad, ordering online?

Craftsteak restaurant lists Niman Ranch steaks right on its menu, so I'd say that speaks of quality for sure. Of course, if you were looking to spend a bit more than $50, Allen Brothers would be an excellent choice.

Hi bessfour, I logged on to the Counter Burger website, and this looks like a winner. I live on the East Coast also, and hope one will be coming to the Central Fla area. If no one replies to your post, please give an update, thanks!

Don't see any mention of Counter Burger. We have one opening up in West Hartford and I understand it's the first on the East Coast. There was quite a buzz about this a few months ago...anyone eaten there?

Braum's isn't so much the Central US (I assume you mean like the Midwest?) as it is towards the south. When we drive from St. Louis to Dallas, one of our markers is how far north Braum's has moved. I believe theres now one in Springfield, MO, but until last year we didn't find them until the second half of Oklahoma.

And I vote for Steak 'n' Shake. Five Guys is good when it's good but a little inconsistent.

Houston's is by far the best chain restaurant burger around. The beef is excellent quality, and its always cooked perfectly

Ruby Tuesday's alpine swiss burger is really tasty, and I hate to admit it, but also fast-food chain, Dairy Queen's mushroom swiss grillburger, although it is very messy.

Best sit-down chain burger is at Houston's (if you live near one)...

Best fast-food chain burger is at In-N-Out (again, if you live near one)...
