Pork Offal

If, like us, you’re passionate about ethical butchery, responsible consumption and eating nose to tail, then pork offal is a wealth of cuts and dishes you will naturally find yourself exploring. It is not as off the wall as it is sometimes made out to be. Most offal is surprisingly simple. A snack of breaded pork cheek, fried to crisp perfection and served with a cheeky bowl of mustard mayo, would not raise an eyebrow on a menu anywhere.

Offal does, however, attract the spotlight once eaten, because its distinctive flavours and rich nutrient value soothe, comfort and delight. There is a no-nonsense attitude to offal, an unapologetic common sense made fashionable by Fergus Henderson and the expanding ripple effect of St. JOHN.

Including offal in your diet opens the door to a whole new world of culinary possibilities: new tastes, flavours and textures, nutritional fortification and a more sustainable way of eating. Join us in celebrating the bounty of offal and embracing the riches of the fifth quarter in your cooking.
