I need my meat!
To continue with last week's theme of where to find local food, it's time to look at the proteins available.
Vegetarians and vegans, you may want to stop here. My intention is not to offend your diet of choice, and I respect your decision, but I believe we are the caretakers for animals and should respect them for what they provide to us omnivores. I know that there is more available in these parts than what I'm describing here, but part of the fun of eating local is finding the ‘something' that's missing and enjoying it!
Today it's all about the pig.
