I was just thinking the same thing. If I do get pork, I'm usually thinking about something like a butt or picnic shoulder that I can slow cook into carnitas or something. Pork chops and tenderloin are tasteless.

You have to look for center cut pork chops. They're very fatty and sometimes only $1.49 per lb and not the more expensive lean ones you're thinking of.

I oven bake them on a bed of onions with a tiny bit of water and they come out very moist, it adds moisture as it cooks. Don't try cooking them in a pan on the stove, even with fat they'll be dry.

Like "organic food" used to be just "food", or "bone broth" was just "broth". I am old enough to have been flabbergasted when I first heard the term "bone broth". No, that's just what my mother used to do with every chicken or turkey carcass that came her way (and I learned from her )

And even these days. We have friends who raise ordinary pigs every so often. When we can we buy from them - but we have to buy at least 1/2 a pig & that's a lot of meat! They totally spoiled me on the taste - I can no longer buy grocery store pork. Except bacon.

I know. And it cracks me up when I hear people trying to explain to others that it has to be bone broth, not other kinds of broth. So it only counts if you makes it yourself in a certain way. If it comes in a can or tetrapak then it's not bone broth. Sigh. How do you think that broth gets made? Yes, of course home made is better, but the argument still lacks a fundamental understanding.

Until I heard of bone broth years ago I thought "broth" referred to stuff that came from a foil wrapped little square cube from a jar.

Funny Zei! When I started learning to cook it was via coming to low carb and having to. I also thought broth meant a bouillion cube.

At this instant I have a rotisserie chicken, a package of chicken hearts and gizzards, and a package of chicken feet, in the slow cooker (having finished 4 hours of pressure cooking) where it will be until tomorrow morning. Never made broth with the other stuff before usually it's just the chicken and bones. I'm going to pull the meat off, roast the bones, and then pressure cook it some more with the bones then it's done. It's either going to be terrible or great by then.
