NATIONAL CROWN ROAST OF PORK DAY

March 7th recognizes a delicious and elegant, savory dish on National Crown Roast of Pork Day. The menu calls for a beautifully set table ready to receive a feast worthy of royalty or a celebration.

#CrownRoastOfPorkDay

Crown roast of pork earns its name when a pork loin forms a circle with the ribs pointing upwards, creating the points of a crown. Often they are held together with twine. It is then seasoned, and usually stuffed, roasted and served, making a beautiful centerpiece on the table. The ends of the bones may be given a paper frill treatment for added decoration.

For anyone familiar with roasting pork and other meats, this roast cooks much the same way. What makes it stand out from others is its presentation. It elevates an already flavorful cut of meat to a whole other level and makes the cook look exceptional in the process.

LOL! We are ‘growing our own’ but he’s a beef steer.

Our neighbor does the pork, so we’re in the middle of negotiations on the finished price for the hog. ‘Porky’ should be ready this coming Fall. :)

Oh, you were lucky! “Us” kids were banned to one of the bedrooms and told to stay out of the dining room and living room - we got TV dinners so we were happy - and got to watch TV until we all fell asleep.

I always remember the next morning b/c the house smelled like smoke - lots of people smoked cigarettes in those days and you wouldn’t dare ask them to go outside to smoke.

My mother had a beautiful crystal ash tray that she could never find when company came over - but always found it somehow at the last minute. After she died, I looked for that ashtray and couldn’t find it. I did find a smaller one, though.

Those were good days, I recall them fondly.

My kids requested Beef Wellington for Christmas dinner this year. Those tenderloins were huge, and also over $100. I asked one butcher if he could cut off 2.5 to 3 pounds of one for me, and I guess he decided that selling half was better than selling none, so he obliged. That was about $70 for just the tenderloin. It was oh so good, though! Heaven! We haven’t had that fancy a Christmas dinner in several years, but I was so happy to have my daughter home for a change, I willingly complied with the requests.

You got to watch TV? Nice!

No such luck for us. It was a day of cleaning before the guests arrived, helping prepare the dinner, setting the table (easy peasy chore), serving the meal, cleaning up afterwards, and then off to do homework and to be quiet. I wasn’t old enough to date, but it was still fun to see my parents enjoy themselves with their friends. A few of them had kids my age and we went to the same school, so we did get to briefly chat with some of them.

And oh, those cigarettes! No one in our family smoked, but there were a couple of people who did. They fortunately waited until after dinner to light up. To me, it was a nasty habit, and I wanted no part of it, but you’re right. Ash trays were a common household item, even in non-smoking homes.

One of the most delicious treats on earth, and a crowd-pleasing presentation to the table of non-liberal veggieweenies.

In my opinion, the problem we now have with replicating the taste we remember from childhood has to do with the dry Purina-fed, caged pigs in souless mass-production agribusinesses that supply our chain groceries.

One wishes that the fatty, greasy pork and cracklings of our childhood were still commonly available (from fatty, fatty pigs fed on naturally organic farm slop). If you have a local butcher who has contacts at local farms (esp. Amish) where pigs can wander and wallow, you will pay plenty; but you will savor the difference.

I have a friend whose son raises pigs the old fashioned way. Those are great chops when we get them!

Yes, I was raised in rural Mississippi in the 50’s and 60’s.

Pork was totally different then that what they sell now, colorless, tasteless and practically fatless now...................

When our mom made pork chops back then, I always tried to beat my brother to get to do the dishes so I could knaw any last bits of meat or fat off the bones. You just can't make today's "pork" taste like that by any kind of cooking trick.

Glad to hear it.

Geez, on second reading, my meaning was not clear—glad you got it! The "non" was meant to apply to the entire phrase "liberal veggieweenies", but the hyphen makes it look the opposite. Sorry about that.

LOL, no, it is pretty funny how one can interpet that.

Translation: "Not one of those Liberal Veggieweenies"!

It reminds me of this, which I love:

One of my best friend’s little sister wore a T-shirt that said the same thing, only substituted “kids” for “grandma”. Laughed my head off when I saw it. We’re all getting up there, so it was nice to see that someone else still cares about punctuation. Did I mention my friend is an editor for a professional newsletter/magazine? I bet she gave that shirt to her sister.
