  1. I bought some pork neck bones to make scrapple. Simmered them
    for a couple hours with sage, salt, and pepper.

    What a PITA to clean. Lots of little bones and cartilage. I'm
    almost afraid to use the meat because I probably got some bones
    in there. And the stock will need to be strained pretty well,
    even though I washed them well before I simmered, there's
    probably a bunch of shard in there.

    What else would you use pork neck bones for? They make a good
    stock, I guess, but I don't see many uses for pork stock.

    The Chinese use pork stock, in dishes like mapu tofu. You can buy Knorr pork
    stock cubes in Chinese markets, along with ham stock, shrimp stock, etc. I
    think for some dishes, like pork
    tenderloin, a flavorful pork stock turned into a Veloute Sauce would be
    excellent.
    I'd go for it,

    The most fantastic pozole I ever tasted had a lot of small bones in
    it. I suspect they were neck bones.

    I fry them crispy in about an inch and a half of lard/peanut oil, then
    salt them with popcorn salt. Then I snack on them, after the fashion
    of a dog.
    A local grocery store put out coupons for $1 off any pork, and the
    neck bones came in packages that were $.89/# and were about 1-1/4 to
    1-1/2 pounds, meaning that for less than 50 cents, I could get a meaty
    little snack.

    I like chewing meat off of bones. It pleases my inner cave man.

    I use them in Posole. You are right they are a pain in the neck, pun
    intended. I was thinking the next time I used them in something I
    would put them in a double layer of cheesecloth and see if that
    doesn't make dealing with the little bones easier.
    If you use them for stock I would recommend putting some trotters in
    with them.

    The invention of meat and fire were responsible for the greatest
    leaps in evolution man has ever made. If PETA and all these
    vegetarians ever get their way, we'll start regressing back into
    Cro-magnons. We probably won't even have any teeth in a few
    thousand years.

    Quite the contrary. We'll need huge molars to masticate great amounts
    of vegetation.

    If I still have my teeth in a hundred years, I'll be happy. Alas, I
    doubt the rest of the body will last anywhere near that long.

    When my mom raised animals... she smoked pork neckbones. I used them
    in whatever needed a ham hock.

    Chitterlings have nothing to do with neckbones. They are pork intestines.

    It's not like we'll be eating hay, though. Or at least it'll be
    cooked until it's tender ;-)

    I use pork butt country ribs for that.

    Mmm, that sound good right now. If I start it now, it'll ready
    in time for breakfast.

    Hey! I resemble that remark!..
    I'm a member of PETA (People Eating Tasty Animals)

    Beyond joking.. the farms that raise the critters we eat could treat
    them a little better.. not be caged in such small cages etc..

    Well, technically, we did invent ways to domesticate animals.
    And with genetic engineering/conditioning/selective breeding...

    And then there's the stove/oven...

    I would have said 'discovered' but I wanted to see who'd bite ;-)

    Nope. Pork butt comes from the shoulder. Slices of pork butt are
    known as of "pork country [style] ribs", or "Pork Country Ribs
    (from the butt)" I think is the proper NAMC labeling.

    While the bone is really the shoulder blade, when cut it somehow
    magically transforms into a "rib".

    Don't look at me - I didn't name these things.
