Pork Chops.

A pork chop, like other meat chops is a loin cut taken perpendicular to the spine. I wanted to start with a very factual, studious take on what a pork chop is. To me it is much more than a loin cut, it’s a food. When I was given this assignment I was taken back. What have I become. Do I now write blogs about pork chops and carry on with life thinking everything is just dandy? Yes, it might seem unimportant in the grand scheme of things, but this is what I do. It’s who I am. Much like the pork chop, I am resilient, hard to get out of your teeth and loved internationally.

The center cut or pork loin chop includes a large T-shaped bone and is structurally similar to the beef T-bone steak. I like steak. I think I like steak more than I like pork chops. That might explain why I am struggling with writing such a detailed account concerning the pork chop. It is strange when we compare such abstract things, but isn't that human nature? I am just a human much like you the reader. I wake up and brush my teeth, go to work and then fall asleep once I arrive home. Ask me to write an essay regarding the inner workings of the pork chop however and my day becomes slightly less formulaic. I start to question the very fabric of time and space. Who created the pork chop? Why? If the pork chop wasn't named the pork chop would it still be loved? Is anyone really loved? What is love? Who am I?

Pork chops are suitable for roasting, grilling, or frying, but there are also stuffed recipes. A stuffed pork chop might seem unbelievably crazy, but is it really that crazy? My Mum drank a bottle of my urine once. That was crazy. Is the stuffed pork chop on the same level as my Mum accidentally drinking my urine? One must wonder. A stuffed pork chop does sound delicious. I assume it might be stuffed with cheese, vegetables or maybe even another pork chop. What if inside a pork chop there was another pork chop. Similar to that movie Inception with Leonardo DiCaprio, but just with pork. Porkception. If pork was inside pork would you notice the difference between the outer pork and the inner pork? Maybe a seasoned chef or taste tester would, but the average person probably wouldn’t. I definitely prefer steak.

Blade or shoulder chops come from the spine and tend to contain much connective tissue. I actually frequently buy tissue from the grocery store for my Grandma. I live with my Grandma and her shopping list is always exactly the same. She has a runny nose all the time and goes through a lot of tissues. There are many brands of tissue but she prefers Kleenex. I try my hardest to buy her Kleenex but sometimes the store is out and I settle for the store brand. It is definitely not as soft but it gets the job done.

I cant actually remember the last time I had pork chops. I assume it was at some type of event because its rare to have pork chops as a standard meal. In my experience they are eaten during BBQ’s and some holidays. They definitely are not a constant source of food. They are a great source of protein but I prefer to substitute chicken into my diet. It tastes great and is the most protein packed meat per bite. I think. If pork chops tasted like chicken I would definitely like them more. I am not a huge fan of pork chops in terms of taste. I like their name and how they look, but the taste is too bland for me. The seasoning is what makes a pork chop. Chicken is great without seasoning making it superior to pork chops. I am signing off from this assignment. Im putting my foot down. 1000 words on pork chops is literally ridiculous and impossible. I made a great effort and that is what life is about.
