It seems to me that the problem here is not so much getting the cut of meat as getting some pork that has not been bred for leaness. If the hogs being raised for the market are lean, then the meat will be lean regardless of which store you purchase it from. On the other hand, there might be a farmer somewhere who raises the non-lean hogs for his own consumption and who would be willing to sell a roast. That would almost require knowing someone who knew someone, etc. sky Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's too bad you can't get your hands on some Japanese pork, as they value marbled meat. It's shipped there from the U.S. http://www.usmef.org/TradeLibrary/News04_0607a.asp This book might be worth having and may offer leads to good foods. http://www.farmersmarketonline.com/bk/TheArtfulEater.htm and speaking of Japanese pork: http://www.lobels.com/store/main/pork.asp#prod scroll down to see what cuts they sell. sky Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
