I'll be honest, before this week end, I didn't even know that there was such a thing as pork brisket!
However since I was about to make a big batch of tomato sauce, I was looking for some ham bones to marinate in the tomato sauce while it cooked, but couldn't find any. What I found instead were some incredibly inexpensive "pork brisket bones", which looked real meaty.
Took the bones home, roasted them in the oven, placed them in the tomato sauce on the stove top that I let barely simmer for 2 hours.
Once that was over, I was about to throw away the "bones" and mix the sauce. However, seeing all that meat on the bones, it just didn't feel right to throw it away. So I placed them in a pan with some of the tomato sauce so they wouldn't dry out. That night I reheated that pan and ate the meat off the bones: EXCELLENT!
So what is a pork brisket bone? Why do I usually never see those? Why have I never ever heard of a pork brisket?
This thing was gooooooood and I still have a few bones in my fridge.. hmmm... later tonight maybe? /img/vbsmilies/smilies/smile.gif
