But worth it in terms of taste and quality (without even going into
the ethics or alleged health benefits). You just about have to pay
at least double for meat from a small organic operation vs factory
meat. But the people who demand X6 are either ripping off or in a
lousy supply chain.

I get such tasty soup bones, fat, stock and gravy that I only need
half as much to feel sated. I can be happy having leftovers, meat
flavoured bean or pasta dishes, soups or fried rice on alternate
days and skip having a "big meat" main dish.

     Title: Cuban Fried Pork Sandwich At Tina's Restaurant
Categories: Caribbean, Pork, Sandwiches, Chilies
  Servings: 4

           French bread
           pork carnitas
           maduros (sweet plantain)
           onion and lime
           mayo
           aji (Peruvian green hot
           sauce)

The "Fried Pork" sandwich at Tina's starts with the kind of fried
pork you dream of: four large hunks of crispy on the outside, juicy
and stringy on the inside carnitas. The fried hunks are individually
pressed down into one big layer onto the bottom slice of already
flattened French-style bread used in Cuban sandwiches. Then a
generous heap of fried sweet plantains (maduros) gets pressed onto
the top of layer of the bread and is topped with an onion and lime
mixture. The whole thing gets a nice squirt of mayo before being
pressed into one of the most gloriously excessive sandwiches I have
ever eaten.

Despite being billed as a Cuban restaurant the owners of Tina's are
Peruvian, so I'd recommend dipping the thing into the little cups of
aji (Peruvian green hot sauce) they give out at the cash register.
Fried stuff, on fried stuff sandwiched between two slices of bread.
Is there anything better?
