I went to this little mexican butcher shop by me this morning. Asked if they had ground pork, lady said i can grind some how much to you need. 5lbs.

Was thinking oh great contamination city. To my surprise she turns around and i see 3 huge grinders labeled, Beef, Pork & Chicken, All 3 very clean. She takes this huge pork butt and in a flash has it deboned, cubed and in the grinder. Wowsers cold fresh ground pork. She told me that they are going to be moving soon to a better location and have a self serve mexican homemade food. WOOO HOOO.

Looking good, I love that stuff.

All smoked and resting. Had a coupe of air pockets in 2 of them, guess you wont know until after its at the IT. Oh well i'm sure it will be fine.

Going to put back in the pans later, cover and fridge for 2 days before slicing.

Fried up, it reminds me of Spam or even Scrapple a little.
