Roast meat that is really tender.

I'm having roast beef ribs at the moment that just fall off the bone and nearly melt and it makes me feel so safe...

That is interesting, I like it when it falls off the bone too. I don’t know if it may seem strange but personally I love the fat on pork chops when tender

That is the best bit about pork chops!

The beef ribs have a layer of fat on top that crisps up a treat and there are lots of smaller layers of fat through the meat that melt away on a long, slow roast leaving the meat marinaded and succulent.

You can buy pork crackling in your butcher - it's minus the pork chops but still very nice

Where I live (Brazil) there is a very popular side dish made from seasoned pork belly. They take it, roast it then deep fry it for extra crispiness so when you bite into to, it is mega crunchy, cooked through and delicious.

It can taste quite fatty (for what is mostly deep fried fat it is not surprising) but it is such a mix of sensations - hot, crunchy, juicy and flavoursome. Moderation is required as it is quite unhealthy.

It is one of my favourite Saturday treats.
