Dear rfc:ers,
 I'm writing this on behalf of the wife. She has thought deeply and come
to
the conclusion that I should use my participation in this group for
something good, and therefore asked me to ask you for a dinner
recommendation for the current weather conditions.
 It is about 3 degrees C, windy, dark, and occasionally some light rain.
 What easy and cozy dish would you choose to light up such an autumn
evening?

 3 degrees! I don't eat any foods at such temperatures. If it got that
cold over here, we'd all die.

 No, no, no, the key is staying inside and proper clothing! Another great
trick is to travel to spain for a month. ;)
 

This morning, I had a pork chop. The old-school American way of cooking
a pork chop is to brown the chop and then braise it in liquid for 20 to
40 minutes. The modern way to cook a chop is to fry it like a steak.
That's a lot easier for me.

 Interesting! How would you say the taste differs between the traditional
way and the modern way? And why did the modern way prevail?

 A braised pork chop will be less juicy and somewhat firmer than a
properly fried chop. It also take a longer time to cook. I think a pork
loin doesn't take to braising very well. Obviously, some RFC people will
disagree.

 I'm skeptical. I like my steaks juicy, and often, pork for me is to dry.

I believe you on that. We've all had a dry, tough, pork chop. My
favorite pork is pork belly. Of course, that brings about a whole nother
set of problems!

This is the truth! The belly of the pork is a very good piece of pork to eat! One of my favourite parts as well!
