25 Sep 12 - 08:26 PM (#3410177) Subject: RE: BS: Does a bacon shortage concern you? From: JohnInKansas Since the price increases predicted will affect all pork products they will put a crimp in our budget, although we don't expect that there won't be adequate supplies in our area - for those who can still afford it(?). In most recent times pork in general has been about half the price of beef here - per pound, and while it's difficult to cook cheap beef so that it's tender enough to be enjoyed by those of us with no teeth at all, any idiot can cook most pork without turning it into something indestructible. But there's always chicken for a backup. Bacon (the US kind) is sort of a special case since it's quick and easy (until the smoke breaks out 'cause you didn't pay attention) when you just need a snack. At present, there's probably actually a glut of pork on hand at the processors, since lots of farmers have been selling them off prematurely due to the high cost (and unavailability) of feed. It doesn't seem to be reflected in current prices though, so the processors must be saving it all for later. John |

25 Sep 12 - 08:48 PM (#3410190) Subject: RE: BS: Does a bacon shortage concern you? From: gnu I dunno about where youse are but I have seen bacon on sale here where the sign says the regular price is about a million dollars a pound over what I would pay for salted pork fat... a lot of it is just that. It's ludicrous. Yet, I see people buying it. It's unreal to me. The big groceries buy the meat processing plants here and shut them down?... our chickens are now trucked a thousand miles, processed and trucked a thousand miles back to us and the price is double? WTF is that? But, again, I see people buying the stuff at the big grocery store. Newfoundland supplies New Brunswick with chicken at a decent price? Fuck Quebec and Ontario and their big money... bastards! But, the real tragedy is that they are slowly squeezing the local Coops out so that soon, they can triple their prices. Triple is better than double, eh? |

26 Sep 12 - 08:01 AM (#3410370) Subject: RE: BS: Does a bacon shortage concern you? From: Charley Noble We can always make do with "Razor-Back Steak." Those wild hogs are over-running large parts of Texas, I hear. RAZORBACK STEAK By Jimmy Driftwood When Old Hick'ry Jackson met Sir Pakenham, The British were full of hot biscuits and ham, While the Tennessee boys were as "pore" as a snake, For all they'd been eatin' was Razorback Steak. A razorback hog is as wild as a buck, And the hunter who hunts him had better have luck, You can fill him with buckshot and rifle balls too, And he'll turn around and make shoestrings of you. When you see a gentleman down in the South, With a big sausage-grinder way back in his mouth, When he gives a rebel yell, make no mistake, He's a looking for a woman or Razorback Steak. When I get to heaven as Mr. Devine, Don't want no ambrosia to eat with my wine, Just give me a chunk of hot corndodger cake, A bowl of red gravy and a Razorback Steak. If you think its tender you're crazy You can't stick your fork in the gravy! Razorback Steak, Razorback Steak, Lost all my teeth on that Razorback Steak, It's tough as can be, made a man out of me, Give me some more of that Razorback Steak. Note: DeSoto brought a drove of hogs with him when he came seeking treasure and the fountain of youth. Many went AWOL and reproduced in the wilds of America, until there were thousands of wild hogs, called razorbacks, by the time settlers came west of Mississippi. Fried lean meat of wild hogs was called Razorback Steak. Charley Noble |
