My mother’s fried chicken was delicious and that’s about the only meat dish that was. However, her baked goods were absolutely the best things you ever tasted. Cakes, cookies, pies, bread...all super. I couldn’t figure it out. Why did she ruin the meat dishes but bake such incredible goodies? I finally theorized that she made dinner to satisfy my father who had rather plebian tastes in food. Like a lot of men from his generation, he disliked most meals that weren’t meat and potatoes.
That was my problem with the reporting early on. S&W was painted as the villain and it shouldn’t have been. The typical evil capitalist business going after some poor tourist nonsense which liberals and their lackeys in the media have to drum into the heads of low information voters as often as possible.
Maybe she was suspicious of it and wanted to make sure it was “safe” for consumption, like my mom is.
Five year period between 1997 and 2001, there were a whopping total of 12 cases of trichinosis from commercial pork products.

Go ahead and leave that pork a little pinkish, no harm will come and it is so much better than a tough chop.
I’ll do it with a good, thick nice quality chop on a grill but I won’t with any other pork product.
