It has amused me that Pork Side and Belly roast have been selling for 1.5X more than the cured bacon and moving out of the freezers faster than I can restock them. LOL that was the poor mans part of the pig when I was growing up and now it high end stuff..................
Blame celebrity chefs, and the internet for that. There was a time when lamb shanks were a cheap cut of meat...no longer now. What was once peasant food has now become gourmet $#it
