The other day, my son, my brother, and I were having a major discussion. Out of the 4 major meats (beef, pork, chicken & turkey*) which would be the easiest to do without? Turkey was the hands down winner there. Then the more difficult question, which would be the hardest to give up? I'm leaning towards pork - any pork that is deep fried, barbequed, or smoked is just heaven on a plate. I don't think I could live without bacon, pork chops, loin, pulled pork, or ribs (beef ribs are nowhere near as good) My brother said he could not live without an occasional beef steak and my son said he needed a cheeseburger once in a while. Which got me to thinking - why not make pork burgers?

So my question to you is, have you tried out any ground pork? Pork just seasons so much better than beef. I picked up a couple pounds of ground pork and I'm going to try them out this week. My mind is just reeling with the possibilities - Chipotle, Caribbean Jerk, Cajun, Teriyaki, Chopped bacon & liquid smoke, Greek seasoning, mmmmmmm What do you think?

*lamb and seafood really aren't even worth considering
