One of my best memories was at a summer pig roast. That was the best pig I have ever had.

my mom making homemade bbq pork

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 :)
Also the incredible 'poor soup' that I don't know why I still crave: Boiled salt pork with wax beans, salt and pepper...
Roast pork with it's crunchy fat layer studded with garlic is sheer heaven!

My grandmother would make us BLT's on lazy Sunday afternoons.

The first time that I had barbecue any where outside of Texas, and realized that pork could almost be prepared as well as beef.

Ham and swiss on rye

My fondest memory is the pork chops that my dad would burn - i mean barbeque on the grill when I was little. It wasn't until I was in my 20's that I ever had an unburnt pork chop!! Yummy!!

I'm pretty sure it was when I tried a Godfather's pizza years and years ago. They had a spicy italian sausage which was absolutely amazing!

I love the smell of frying bacon

My pork memories are not really all that memorable since my mother is Jewish, we don't eat pork very often. I don't know if it exactly what you are looking for, but whenever we do have pork, it is a sort of tradition in my family to make sure to offer my mom some even though we know that she won't eat it. Thanks for the giveaway.

growing up in the 40'sand 50's,when meat was still very tasty,I canb still taste the dark, crunchy ham rinds,that mother would dole out to us kids. Of course this would be FORBIDDDEN in today's world. People under 55 will never know what real food tasted like.
