  1. Well, there still is fresh pig's feet and when you can find them, fresh pork hocks. Use both, prefer the hocks when I can find them for my pasta sauce. When I can't get either, I'll grab goat meat, which is not quite as expensive as oxtails and plentiful in my current neighborhood. Upside, in my neighborhood, largely Caribbean, fish and chicken leg quarters are also plentiful (and hence, also goat meat). Also used to use oxtails in my pasta sauce, whichever was on special when the kids were growing up. Not any longer, stupidly expensive. At the rate peasant foods are growing into wealthy designer foods, soon I just might become vegan. Or cannibal...

  2. I like one thing the most in this story, that a man of nearly 70 is still happily learning new things. Learning new things is one of my favorite activities! I figure that I'll stop learning a few days after I'm dead. ;)

  3.  @Adaephonable  uh huh, that's why I've been literally replacing coffee makers annually. Name brand and all, twice, where the heating element failed after a year.

  4.  @tuckerbugeater  the less one pays, the lower the quality and longevity of the product. Cheaper, faster, better, pick one. If you want all, you get none, as all you really got was single use junk.

  5. Well, as the price of "peasant cuts" of meat grow out of the price range of the poor, in the heaviest armed nation on the face of the earth, the price of long pork well fattened decreases. Recommended, CEO chops, well fattened and inexpensive in the extreme. Just don't stop at a McDonald's after one harvests one...

  6. Given the incoming maladministration, might not need to make it a trend, it'd just be a reality. One upside being, squab's pricing might just come down to sanity, given the pigeon population of our great cities... ;) Seriously, price squab, it's a juvenile pigeon, best price I saw was $30 for one. They're delicious, but not that damned tasty! Not duck pricing for far less meat! Goose also being ridiculously priced. Makes me wonder how much I could get for some prime rib of CEO...
