Canadian mayor refuses to remove pork from lunch menu

Pork is very dry and almost tasteless when cooked with hardly any fat and traditional pork joints contained lots of fat. Modern methods produce meat with less fat and less taste and so it is desirable to add flavour with herbs, spices or preserves.
Roasting on a wire rack or trivet will ensure fat drips away but is likely to leave the meat with a dry texture.
Roasting in an oven using a self-baster helps...
An alternative to roasting is boiling - while this is more usual for bacon or gammon joints there is no reason why uncured meat can't be boiled (used to be popular) and I have heard boiling a joint in cider keeps the meat relatively moist while be fairly low in fat. A friend heard boiling in flat Coca-Cola produces interesting results...
Boiling a bacon joint for a cold Sunday tea is(was) a common English ritual and the water was retained for cooking the vegetables for Sunday lunch. A variation was a popular Irish evening meal choice; cabbage and bacon cooked in the same pan at the same time, the cabbage being added towards the end of the cooking time...
Incidentally, stewed Bramley apples is a traditional accompaniment to roast pork.

The National Pork Board recommends cooking pork chops, roasts, and tenderloin to an internal temperature between 145° F. (medium rare) and 160° F. (medium), followed by a 3 minute rest. Since large cuts increase approximately 10° F. while resting, remove them from the heat at 150° F. followed by a 10 minute rest.

hi Dianna.
Roast in a preheated 500 degree (F) oven for 20 minutes. Reduce heat to 300 degrees and roast for an additional 30 minutes per pound. Total cooking time for an 8lb roast should be about 4hrs and 20 minutes. Remove the pork roast from the oven and let rest for 30 minutes
