Am I the only one who can't eat pork

[Deere Dude]

Is there a minimum you can eat without feeling sick?

Do u have gall bladder issues? A family member had to stop eating fatty meats and ultimately had her gall bladder removed. Now she can't process the animal fats at all and feels ill, similar to your description.

I might have missed it, but is the reaction the same regardless of which cut, and how the pork is cooked? (Ie leaner cuts aren't as bad?)

I avoid fatty foods at all times mainly because I don't like them although when I BBQ a steak I keep the fat on for flavour but don't eat it, even the smallest amount of pork makes me feel ill but I can eat any other meat without any issues.
No fish for me simply because I don't like it (SWMBO says I am impossible to cook for) and as she works in the poultry industry don't eat much chicken mainly because we get it so cheap that I get sick of it.
Lamb is fine although we marinate it most of the time and use it in middle eastern type food, lots of lemon, garlic and oil based marinades.
I don't know what curing does to pork but as I said ham, bacon and salami are fine.
Very cautious when we go out for Yum Cha as you really don't know what you are getting, could well be Me Yow but you wouldn't know (Chinese for cat)

Do you know what that ingredient is/was? I have thought that to be the case but have never known for certain.

No. And he wouldn't tell me. He said best just to avoid any restaurant that you've eaten at and gotten sick more than once. It's probably the ingredients, not the cleanliness of the place.... I have to disagree, but still, it makes sense.

I never eat pork, but I will admit every time I watch a BBQ show on TV my mouth waters at the sight of pulled pork. :laughing:

Yumm, pulled pork.

We eat pork a lot. In fact, we had pork chops tonight. My dog is a bacon junkie. I think she would fight a bear over it.

Pork is a very cultural thing and in some faiths it was sensibly considered unclean as it could be infested with worm and other parasites, years of safe farming practice have pretty much eliminated a lot of this along with refrigeration to keep it fresh.
This still doesn't help me and I substitute chicken or beef for things such as pulled pork although we do ropa veja which is just a rough cut of beef that benefits from herbs and slow cooking then pulled.

Take a can of white meat chicken and throw it in a small saucepan. Add a couple/3-4-5 spoonbills of your favorite salsa. Heat it up. Put it on a flour tortilla with some cheddar/jack cheese, a little lettuce, tomato, sour cream.... chicken tacos or burritos. :licking:

Works well with BBQ sauce, too!

Or, take a large flour tortilla, put some canned chicken, some cheese, some BBQ sauce on it. Lay another tortilla on top. Put it in the microwave with some paper towels over it to hold in the moisture. 20 seconds. Pull it out and cut it like a pizza. :licking:

My Missouri friends will know what I am talking about,but many of you won’t. Pork Steaks! Have your butcher cut a Boston butt roast into about 3/4” steaks,throw them on low and slow,sauce with your favorite barbecue sauce. Known well around here,but unheard of in most parts of the country.
