Chuck roast carnitas

Does it really matter if it is pork or beef?
As long as it tastes good, and makes use of a less expensive cut of meat, sound good to me

And this dictionary says it is meat, but especially pork, not only pork.

small chunks or strips of meat and especially pork that are fried or roasted until crisp

Many people say they're making pasta and meat sauce, and use ground beef.

While parts of me think that's sacrilegious... I've honestly had it prepared well by people before, and at the end of the day try not to be "above" anything, at least not above trying and appreciating someone's efforts.

At the end of the day we're a melting pot of almost every cultural background.

We all benefit from the spice of life everyone brings to the table.

I've had authentic Polish dishes that were nothing like the delicious Polish dishes my mom made....

MMMMMM. I have a special place in my hear for polish food. My mom in her later teens had to stay with a couple that was Ukranian, and Polish. They stayed close family friends, and one of my favorites that they made was perogies.

Every once in a while I'll make a big batch and freeze some for later.

I like doing a good mash with some sharp white cheddar and a little bit of extra strong horseradish right in there with it.

I par boil and then fry with a little bit of butter. If I don't have some good kielbasa on hand (sometimes our butcher doesn't have any of their good homemade and smoked)... I'll just dice up some smoked salt pork and fry with the perogies and butter.
