Okay, as I'm making some beanie-weenies for dinner, that eternal question which has nagged mankind for ages popped up once again- what the heck is up with that little piece of pork in the pork-n-beans? Does anyone actually eat that thing? It is too tiny to add any real flavor, and just looks nauseating. So why even add it? What to do with it? Maybe save all the little pieces and construct a lifesize statue of porky pig?
Just wondering.

 

It's there to add flavor to the beans.

 

i think it works for adding flavor if it gets on my plate i eat it.

 

i try to make sure that it don`t make it to my plate

 

That's right Folks .....Back away from the Piece of Pork......



It's mine

 

I tried to give it to my dog once. She wouldn't eat it, so since that time I won't either. I hope my dog isn't getting smarter than I am! I also gave up on beanie weenies.

 

I think that your first poll is phat!

 

I usually give it to my dog ..... between the shepard, the lab, and the mix breed chihuahua, one of them will eat it. The chihuahua eats stuffed jalepenos from sonic so she usually gets it, lol.

 

I still like a hot steak better than a cold chop.

 

thats the best bite in the can! lol

 

I wouldn't touch it with a ten foot pole.

 

I kinda like it myself.

 

That's the part where the gas is stored, until you open the can and eat some.

 

Are you reeeeeeally sure that it is pork?

Actually, it is not pork it is from the Spam animal, that little cut is just a bit behind the shoulder.
If you combine that with Spam flank stake (just in front of the shoulder) baste it with the juices from the Snipe bird it become a rare delicacy found only in the swamps of North Dakota.
