  • Butcher and author Bryan Mayer shows Bon Appetit how to butcher an entire pig at Wyebrook Farm and explains every cut of pork. There are five sections of the pig that yield edible cuts: pork shoulder, pork belly, pork loin, pork butt (or ham), and the head. From those sections, the butcher can offer sausage, bacon, spare ribs, brisket, ribs, steaks, pork chops, pork cutlets, coppa, presa, secreto, and tenderloin.

    It's funny how we use the term "Butcher" to mean making a mess of something but when you see actual butchering you realize that it is a precise art & almost delicate.

      Well originally back then, people didn't know much about animal parts and how each cuts are unique on their own dish. Anyone back then could become a become a butcher if they are willing to get their hands messy. People just hack the bones with a cleaver and sell it in market. They still do it today in poorer countries.

      In English you are just talking about experience - working as a butcher to learn the trade - The word you are looking for Geselle in German is not really used much anymore in English - but there is the old word 'Journeyman' - It is used for someone who continues to learn their trade. So an apprentice is the first step, then you continue your journey. So a journeyman butcher or a journeyman baker or a journeyman xxxx

    Im currently watching this in August of 2019. this video harkens back to a time where when animals were raised solely for the purpose of feeding a family, because grocery stores weren't really a thing the way they are now. And as you said, every part of the animals were utilized in some way. People had large families with lots of children. For example, my great grandparents had 12 children by 1931. this was during and after the great depression where jobs were scarce and food was even scarcer. And my great grandmother would have a few recipes for every single part of the pig, cow, or chickens they raised solely to feed the entire family. I truly and honestly respect the way you paid homage to that, whether that was youd intent or not it was awesome. I have some of those recipies that were handed down to me by my great grandmother after her last return home from the hospital at the end of her hard, but amazing life. You rocked this breakdown. thank you for sharing this.

    My chef and I are about to do our catering companies charcuterie projects for the year.
    This video covers much of what I need to know.
    (Secretly, I am imagining the flavors of secreto). This skillet to me is oh so important.
    It's the keystone of being a craftsman.
    I really dug this video.

    Chicharrones are the best!!!! Specially if they have a bit of meat. My dad usually gets some belly with fat for making chicharrones! Also, Lechona (typical colombian dish) kind of "inside" the skin, and the skin comes up extremely crispy, and I swear, is the best dish right there!

      As a Filipino who grew up and lives in Benguet, I hate pig lungs, I've tried cooking them in ways that would make them try to taste good, but none of the techniques I used yielded any good results for me. Some liked the way I cooked them but I don't think I'll ever like pigs lungs. Period.

To have available the many different stock pot pieces would be so fun to cook with. This presentation was very well done and easy to understand. Thank you so much. I learned a lot. I also respect the butchers skill level. His understanding and easy to follow dialogue was extremely helpful. Thank you.

    In the North of Spain we call them "Torreznos" instead of chicharrones, we leave a bit of the fat under it, its super delicious as a snack, its sold in the snacks and potato fries areas in super markets in bags and plastic boxes in Cantabria 😍😌😋.
