'pink' Pork

[2Margaret]

I recently had a 'trio of pork' dish at a fine dining type restaurant. The pork loin item was served 'rose pink' with several dots of blood in the flesh. I had always understood pork should be well cooked and was perturbed by its appearance. On asking the staff I was told this was perfectly acceptable in loin of pork, as to cook it more thoroughly would render it tough and tasteless. On speaking to a relative with catering college qualifications I was told that in training students had been told pork can carry a 'harmful worm' so should always be well cooked. Can anyone enlighten me. I must say I was put off by the appearance of the pork but that is probably due to the mantra that pork should always be well cooked.

I've eaten cooked penis, oxen's, in China......it's good for a man's sex life apparently, their equiv of Viagra. For women's it's deep fried scorpions. Anyway, got back to the hotel in Beijing and my ex's comment was "I guess it's one of those dishes that grows on you."

Actually it was fine (after all it's just muscle) - and was served, dare I add, with a mushroom sauce.
