I'm not a vegetarian but I dislike factory farming and I support small, family farms.

That Slow-Roasted Pork
Thought you all might like to see the pork results...
I ended up cooking it for nine hours and it was simply 'marinated' for half an hour in a simple bottled chinese marinade. So how did it taste?
Even better than it looked...
Pork shoulder is a very cheap cut of meat partly because it pretty much has to be slow cooked. Regular techniques mostly just dry it out. I can tell you that sealing it in some way - as with this glaze/marinade - holds the moisture even better. You can see from the photo above that there was a goodish layer of fat around the top and that is the other key. Everyone - even the super-skinny dieting, health-conscious people - all agreed that the fat was a key component, even in the eating. I can tell you that hot smoky, runny pork fat is very good indeed! I had hoped for leftovers but the news got out and we ended up with fourteen people and then the dog got the bone.
