I like all that stuff alright, but the day I was faced with takin' the pork out of my juicy pan fried pork chop is the day I'm afraid I'd find myself finding new friends...hmm, on the other hand pan fried chicken is a perfect substitute for anything, even pie....yes I said it, fried chicken trumps pie..oh deeeliciously crispy Christ, how'd politics find it's way in here, throw some seasoned flour power on it toot sweet..sweet?..ah jeez now I want pie...it'sa vicious freakin' cycle I tells ya!I've switched over to turkey hot dogs, turkey bacon, turkey and/or chicken sausages - I have a Muslim friend who will not eat pork. Just for a lark, thought I would cut out all pork products to see how that feels.
Bonus - less fat and therefore hopefully a better weight loss result.
(It was hard to give up the real bacon and of course the yummy Easter ham)
