Gloucester Old Spot

[Cycling Naturalist]

Classic rare breed pork. Dark and gamey, and fatty too. Oven at 220 - on a wire rack for 30 minutes. Down to 170 and cubed butternut squash under the rack, and sage and onion balls on the rack. Cook up the apple very slowly for the apple sauce. Parboil the potatoes for roasted potatoes with a light crispy surface. What could be simpler?

If you criss-crossed the skin with a sharp knife prior to cooking, would you end up with a spot check?

Anyone else ever had their balls on the rack?

Still, suppose it's better than balls on the thread, eh?

It is harder for a solicitor to pass through the eye of a needle than it is to slow-roast a camel or summink

A needle suggests a conscious prick, Rich...now why would that be? (Is 3BM still awake?)

(Is 3BM still awake?)

Persistent vegetative state, I believe, like Nebraska.

You could have used the pigs as dominoes to bring a whole new meaning to playing with your food.

Pigs must shudder when they get a scent of you, Vernon. The Grim Reaper of Porcinetta casts his shadow...forget dominoes, they'd know they were dicing with death, with only a pastry coffin as solace.

Balls off the rack now and in the top oven. Apple sauce spot on. Butternut squash going in top oven.
