In 1987 the U.S. National Pork Board, began an advertising campaign to position pork as "the other white meat" due to a public perception of chicken and turkey (white meat) as more healthy than red meat.


Since then various splinter factions of the campaign have been formed proclaiming that the likes of Possums, Squirrels, Cats and Babies are the other white meat. 3 of these options are very dubious and 1 is illegal. There more suggestions available via the Google search engine but they are just silly!

                                                Tuesday - No Brainer Pork Chops and Mash

There's not much you can do to murder a pork chop so The Family Clog need not have looked so nervous as I prepared this evenings dinner.

I raided the January edition of 'Delicious' magazine for the basis of the recipe but chose to make a few changes due to the Baby Clogs palettes and cost of ingredients. I must of made the right changes as the dinner table this evening was silent apart from 'Happy Homer Simpson' type noises emanating from Middle Baby Clog - that boy sure does enjoy his food - and plates were scraped clean.

Basic Method;
Pork chops were rubbed with olive oil and seasoned and placed under a hot grill until nicely brown on both sides and served with slices of pre-prepared Garlic, Herb and Cracked Pepper Butter.

The mash was made in the normal way but I added a mixture of warm milk and cream that had been infused with fresh Thyme. To the mash I also added finely chopped raw andijvie (a kind of chicory) and red onion, better known in Swampland as Stamppot.
