The so-called Erdaorou refers to the piece of meat close to the hind leg after the butcher removes the ring of meat from the pig's tail. Because it is the second cut, as the name suggests, it is called Erdaorou. The meat can be fat or lean, and the combination of fat and lean is acceptable to most people.

The term "two-knife meat" is common in Sichuan, Guizhou, Yunnan and other regions. It is a method of cutting meat derived from the method of cutting. Generally, after slaughtering live pigs, people are accustomed to processing the pork from the tail. I borrowed the meaning of the phrase "whole beard and whole tail", that is, if the tail is complete, then the head must also be complete, so I (the butcher) did not cut corners to hide the meat.

Generally, it starts by cutting off the pig tail (the first long bone from the tail vertebra to the top, that is, the sacrum), and then the first knife is cut from the side of the tail to the tip of the femur (tip of the buttocks/back of the ring). /Baojian) is cut from the top, and the second knife is started from the side (mostly the left side), which is commonly known as the second knife and sitting position.

Be careful when purchasing and eating pork

Porrupted pork has a rancid smell both on the surface and inside. Fresh pork should have the inherent aroma of meat. . Yun Wuxin, a Ph.D. in Food Engineering from the Department of Agricultural and Biological Engineering at Purdue University in the United States, reminds everyone that when purchasing pork, you must go to regular pork sales points (supermarkets, farmers markets, fresh meat shops, etc.). These pork are only allowed after formal inspection and quarantine. If it is on the market, you can eat it with confidence.

Be sure to cook the pork thoroughly. Be sure to fully heat the pork when cooking it at home. As long as the pork is cooked thoroughly, even if there is a virus, it will quickly lose its activity. Zhu Yi also reminded everyone that when handling pork, raw and cooked food must be separated to avoid cross-contamination of pathogens that may be carried by raw pork to other foods through the kitchen.

It is not recommended to hoard in large quantities. Many people buy a large amount of pork at one time and store it in the refrigerator, but the refrigerator cannot keep the pork fresh all the time. Fresh pork should be stored in the refrigerator immediately after you buy it home. If you are not going to eat it for a while, it is best to store it frozen to avoid the pork from spoiling. After the frozen pork is thawed, it is best to eat it at once to avoid repeated thawing. The last thing to remind is that although frozen pork can ensure that it does not deteriorate, the longer it is kept, the worse its taste will be.
