All this talk about chop licking

Some food we didn't manage to grill at the tailgate. Brats, homemade baked beans, cole slaw, and perhaps a beer.

I spent the day being introduced to European seam butchery for pigs, learning how to make sausage, and charcuterie, then ended with an evening roasting some of the pig and other wonderful food over an open fire while overlooking many acres of bucolic farmland in north Jersey. For this foodie, I can say that today didn't suck!

What part of North Jersey?

That sounds like a blast

I understand The Ohio State University football team had a pig roast in Jersey last night too!
 
Rug those chops look beautiful. Ditto Jim C. Do you guys brine? I consider it a must. I brine and do a homemade rub for pork, especially on the grill. Huge difference. Love the broccoli too, perfect with chops. I'm ready to do more chops now, very soon. So good, so good, so good...Just look at the juices running out of this baby...that's the brine doing its job. The rub searing into those grill marks. Best chops in the world on the grill. These were actually tenderloins I guess.

Marinaded for an hour in McCormicks bourbon brown sugar (add a dash of cayenne abs a spoon of garlic). Saved some for basting. Poured beer over chicken periodically and over grates for steam. Broccoli and queso rice to accompany.

Nothing fancy. All instant stuff. But decent.

Fresh broc is so dirt cheap and delicious. I like to blanch it and then bake it in the oven with garlic, olive oil, S&P. Wish I could credit somebody here for the idea but here is where I learned it on BWI.. Broccoli World International. Works just as well on the top rack of the grill while doing your choice of meat.

I don't usually. That looks really good. Love doing chops, especially the thick cut ones people use for stuffed pork chops. And I love to take pics and send to my brother to rub it in :D Poor bastard's wife is paranoid about pork. Won't eat it unless it's been way over cooked. So every time they he does chops on the grill he has to over do it. I ask him if he's grilling chops or making jerky, cause that's about all he's left with when he's done.

Sounds really good, gonna have to try that.

Back in the '80s we used to go to Snowshoe, PA before all home games and stayed on my Mom's Cousin's Brother-in-Law's farm, loads of fun! Especially Thanksgiving weekend when we would butcher pigs and one year we had to do a bull who wrecked the barn. Some of the best food ever... and the memories to last a life-time.

Now, the pig and the bull were already dead, correct? Or were you playing the part of the hatchetman also?

My problem is I always rub pork the wrong way.
