the only thing we miss is british type bacon, a ham joint and gammon. i had given up trying to find unsmoked bacon. yesterday i went into "the oldest butchers on the south island", and asked them about getting ham/bacon that was unsmoked. according to the butcher PICKLED PORK is the answer! i thought pickled pork was soaked in vinegar, but no, it is the brine solution used in the uk to make bacon etc. it was on offer too...so even better!
so, tonight i am going to tackle my piece of pickled pork and have a go at cooking it.....i will let you know the results!
anyone else tried pickled pork...was it like gammon etc? knowing my look it will taste of feet!
