So Tonight...

magicaddict...after receiving a wedge of very positive commentary on my last, rather emo post, I cooked pork.
Not any pork. This pork cost me over £14 per kilogram. I was 'a splurgin'.
Yes, I've drunk a bottle of wine. Get over it.
The Real Meat Company are a farming group dedicated to the highest standards of welfare for their livestock while alive, and they charge a premium for the privilege of eating it. Their outlet in Bath is the butchers on Bear Flat, on the corner of Calton Road.
This 1.26kg of boneless pork leg set me back £17.62.
Silence, mortals - I drowning sorrows. I'm allowed comical purchases. I bought a kettle as well. It's made of metal.
The trouble with this pork was, after cooking in with the three stage process (sizzle, cook, rest), it actually did taste different to the standard, run-of-the-mill pork you buy in a supermarket. All the ranting about well-reared meat tasting better, for all the fact that it all but shattered the bank into a thousand glittering pieces, actually turns out to be true.
This was the best pork I've ever tasted.
If I get the job next week (the earliest they'll let me know is Monday), I can see myself returning there on a very, very pleasantly regular basis. Otherwise, one £18 chicken and that'll be the lot, until I get my (pitifully small) bonuses and I get to splurge again.
There was no real reason for this post. I just had to tell you about the porking I had tonight.
