Tamworth hog ribs

[JC in GB]

Went to a fall harvest dinner last night featuring all locally produced food.

One of the items on the menu were ribs. The farmer who raised the hogs was sitting right across from me at the table so I asked him what breed the hogs were.

He told me they were Tamworths. I don't recall ever having eaten that breed of hog.

I may contact the farmer and see about buying a half or whole hog from him. Would love to process a whole pig.

The meat was very good and had a rich and pleasant pork flavor. The ribs were topped with a Maple bourbon glaze which really went well with the ribs and did not overpower the flavor of the pork.

Here is a pic I took of the plate.

Looks delicious. I googled this on Tamworth pigs “The Tamworth was selectively bred to become a “bacon pig”. Due to their fine bone structure, their carcass yields up to 70% lean fine grained meat. Its long deep sides and the perfect ratio of fat and lean have earned it the title as “The World’s Best Bacon Pig”.

I was able to contact the farmer and now have some ribs and a pork shoulder on order. I see some ribs and pulled pork in my near future.

Had I read your post an hour earlier I would have seen about getting a pork belly.

Next time I guess...

Side dish appears to be a barley dish. How was it?
I love barley both directly in cooked dishes/soups and indirectly as ingredient of a malted beverage.
