Pork. My favorite food is an ingredient. Sweet, unctuous, luscious, versatile Pork. Smokey Pork BBQ, pulled or ribs, wet or dry. Pork in a tube, spiced and smoked. Pork in stews, like goulash swimming in a paprika broth. And carnitas, tacos filled with crispy pork. Roast Pork, fragrant with caraway and garlic. Whole Roast Pig with crispy skin and meat dripping in its own juices, unadulterated and in no need of any assistance. Tender young Suckling Pig. Thick juicy Pork Chops, pan-fried or grilled, or braised. Pork perfectly complemented by sauerkraut, or apples, or beans -- a myriad of complementary dishes to make the meal a total experience.  Then there&#39;s breaded and fried, in a classic schnitzel. And lest I forget, cured pork. I&#39;m talking Ham. Salami. And Bacon, glorious Bacon rules!  Everything but the squeal. But don&#39;t just take my word for it, ask Tony Bourdain, my brother in Pork.
