PORK PATTIES - FASÍRT

These patties are excellent cold – making them ideal for picnics and for eating on the run. Pork meat should be fully cooked. When the patties are pierced with a fork clean liquid should run. A new product appeared in Canada, “frozen only” ground pork that is unfit for human consumption. There is nothing you can do with it to mask the offensive taste. Stay away from it.
