I want to cook pork for Christmas but I don't know which cut to buy.I'll do a slow roast, which I have read up on here, but is Loin, Shoulder or Belly the best cut for super jucy meat.
Also my Dad has a dodgy tum so I was wondering if Pork Belly would be too rich...?
Help, thoughts and suggestions greatfully accepted :-)

Go for the loin, or shoulder, the belly maybe too rich with fats. Or boned and rolled leg.

The leg would be fine,just grill the crackling and take off the leg, and he will not have any of the fat.But I bet he will not be able to resist it....

And it would be nice if you could buy free range. Tastes better!

Free range notonly tastes better but more importantly has leada normal lifestyle.....enjoying doing what pigs enjoy doing....

Definately going for 'happy pig' :-)I've found a place on line that will supply Freedom Farms and I can get Loin or Shoulder from them.
Think I'll skip the belly.I had the most yummy pork belly at a restaurant for tea last night and while I enjoyed every mouthful at the time, my tummy didn't like it at 3 o'clock this morning.Too rich.
Thanks for your suggestions.
