My favourite scene from The Simpsons is Homer’s exasperation when he realises that his vegetarian daughter, Lisa, is never going to eat meat again. “Wait a minute, Lisa honey… what about bacon?” says Homer. – “No!” says Lisa. “Ham…??” – “No!!” Lisa yells. “Pork chops…???” – DAD!” screams Lisa. “Those all come from the SAME ANIMAL!!” “Hehehe. Yeah right, Lisa,” Homer mocks. “One wooonderful ‘magical’ animal.” This always cracks me up, not just because of Homer’s complete cluelessness, but because he’s so right! Pork really is one completely magical animal, and bacon, ham and pork chops are not even the half of it. Pulled pork, pork belly, rolled pork and pork crackling are right up there as wonders of the food world. And, don’t be scared healthy foodies: pork fillet steak has half the fat of red meat and it’s child’s play to cook. Just follow the 6:2:2 rule: six minutes one side, two minutes on the other and two minutes to rest. And did we mention that our Cook the Cover prize is $5000 cash?! Turn to page 17 of Taste.com.au magazine for the details. We’re going the whole hog in this issue, literally! From Editor
