In the 90s, plants wanted leaner hogs with less fat on them, so that's what we bred. Turned out to be a terrible idea, you couldn't cook it without it drying up, yuck.
Now they've returned to a carcass with more marbling, so it's a crime to see pork that overcooked these days!
I feel you haven't experienced a state fair until your cholesterol count goes up 20 points.
I do like the funnel cakes, though and there's nothing like state fair donuts.
Also, having raised pigs for 30 years, I can say that chop looked over cooked and boring.
Nothing worse than overcooked swine --- the days of trichinosis is so Medieval. ;-)
