  • 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.

    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.

So an apprentice is the first step, then you continue your journey. So a journeyman butcher or a journeyman baker or a journeyman xxxx

    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.

      "Butt" refers to the barrels that were used to ship the shoulder meat.

    I worked as a cashier when I was a kid in our meatshop some 10 years ago, and I was always in awe about how precise and fluid whenever my older relatives butchered an entire pig. Before I worked in our shop, I always thought that there was only one way to prepare pork, just chopping.

    As a vegan i find this gross but cool/interesting, its nice to see how you waste almost nothing and how you cut all the parts, but i don't see why these vegans care what happens to the animal after its dead, i mean lions dogs and some birds eat meat so why can't humans not be able to, just because they don't like something doesn't mean you have the right to shame people for eating something. Anyway you earned a sub my friend very interesting. :)

      confused cat the main reason most vegan lije this because it was once a living sentient being having a will to live being taking away for animals killing other animals they need to hunt for food to survive i dont see the averge human hunter for food also a lion can only eat raw meat it live on a vegan diet unlike humans also i think you would agree that a vegan is healthy
