YES YES and YES~! buy it from Lincoln Road, Massey/Henderson in Auckland. It's cheap as chips and wicked in the crock pot.
I simpley throw the pork in, chuck in a budget tim of apricots, pepper/salt and a good splash of soy sauce and cook on low for about 7 hours. It's melt in the mouth! and I serve it with either savoury rice or mash with steam veges or coleslaw.
It's the total bargain pork in my opinion and it feeds 7 out 9 of us (my littlies aren't keen on pork ... much to our gratitude! )

Its cheap because of all the fat... but that's not such a BAD thing. . Cut away "most" of the fat and render it down for lard. . amazing to cook bacon sausages etc etc... My dogs enjoy the crispy bits that are left and I also indulge a little. . :} just use the rest of the meat as you normally would. . I have found the cuts to be rather thick and VERY suitable for the BBQ straight on top of some oil and sage leaves...

Really? ! I'm neither FOB or Hori (sorry to taint your misconceptions - however comforting they were) ... and the meat is actually very nice, fat and all ~ the fat keeps the meat from drying out - you drain it off after cooking ;-)

hey fisher ~ yes there's fat on the meat but if you search the packets you can find some quite decent packs with not that much fat. At least they stock it at West Auckers - unlike the North Shore (my area) because it's a decent and cheap dinner for many

darlingmole, where on Lincoln Road do you buy the Hangi pork from?

Never mind how it was raised - eg sow crates - imported from Asia etc etc ...

uli I watched the programme with Mike King and it turned my stomach. But it also turns my stomach to see kids abused ... by humans. I can't be everywhere and I must feed my family (cheaply) ... if I had the money or the land? I'd buy organic or grow it organic. That's not my luxury though.
To answer you wetwillie ... Pak'n'Save on Lincoln Road (next to the mitre 10 mega store). I don't go there very often but it's right after the vegetable section and and before the seafood (in the cheap 'fridges with everything on special). Def worth a look :-)

The best thing for Pork is to stay away from Supermarkets go to a Butcher its NZ Meat an not from the outback of Aussie or Spain or Vietnam, Tastes so much better , slow cook a on Barbeque on a spit is better.

Bought some today from Mad Butcher Porirua for $5. 99KG. Asked a butcher about it and was told it came from CHCH and it was the same pork as they sell in the shop. They just don't trim it down hence its cheaper.
