Takes me back, I guess. "Back in the day," as I was recently going on about, this was how my family consumed pork--whole hog, as it were--and we'd (meaning my parents) would make decisions about the cuts we wanted. (Block bacon is pretty awesome, if you were wondering.) Didn't know how good I had it, of course, until I didn't no more.
Never thought to research teh geographic provenance of such-and-such-farms as the Ethicurian did, however. The fact that there ain't no such place is as unsurprising as it is unsettling.
