I buy some stuff ground. As for pork, this has been a huge topic on the raw list! Pork in the US is fine. There is no longer trichinosis in farm raised pigs. Now as for wild boar and bear this is a different story. BUT freezing gets rid of it. Unless your getting wild game from very cold regions. Then it can have a cold temp resistant tric. In it. But as I don't get wild game this isn't a concern of mine lol
But pork heart and tongue are a huge part of my guys diet Rebecca Sent from my iPhone On Jan 23, 2012, at 6:51 PM, "[email protected]" <[email protected]> wrote: > I'd like to know how you are able to grind the stuff up really well.. > Especially if there are bones like chicken or pork in there...
