Sorry to bother anyone and all but.....what exactly are the "pork trimmings" referred to in some recipes? To me it means the trimmed scraps from breaking down a hog, all the silver skin, fat and pieces of small lean.
Dave has a good example of pork trimmings. Trimmings in general are the pieces of pork that you have in excess, not used in a meal. For example, some trim the fat cap from a pork butt and save that. I sometimes take some meat off the brisket of a spare rib and that can be called trim. Heck you can even buy pork trimmings like boneless picnic meat for sausage. You have a example of trimmings from a hog that will be used for sausage. Same can be said for beef. Beef trimmings are often used for ground beef [and sausage]. Reinhard
