OH-IO!  Football season is well on its way!  Whether you are a faithful citizen of Buckeye Nation, as you very well should be, or choose to root for some other team, yes – supposedly there are other football teams, there is one common bond we all share…FOOD. Football season means it’s time to tailgate!

Below are some recipes that will have you looking like a tailgate pro in no time, and there is no better way to do that than with PORK!  Make sure you click on the picture for the juicy details!

Grilled Bratwurst with Onions Braised in Beer and Mustard

Whoa, it’s a brat….well, not your typical brat; this one is maxed out with flavor. Just look at that and try not to be hungry, I dare you!

Barbecued Pork Steaks

If you like steak, then what could possibly be better than a pork steak?

Honey Pork Tenderloin Kabobs

Kabobs!  Grab ‘em and go! These kabobs are the answer to your quest for quick and easy finger food!

We are going to have a new addition to Porktastic soon.  Have you ever wondered where bacon and ribs come from?  Is there a difference between Canadian bacon and other types of bacon?  What is the leanest cut of pork?

There are so many undiscovered things about the deliciousness that we all call pork.  All of your questions will soon be answered to a sweet sound of the banjo!  Stay tuned in the next few months and all your burning questions will be answered!

You can stop flipping from channel to channel to looking for some obscure Olympic sport. The games are over. Gone for another two years. Like you, we’re looking for something new to entertain us and keep that competitive spirit alive – at least until March Madness starts. In typical Porktastic fashion, we looked to our porcine friends for inspiration and came up with the perfect solution for our Olympic withdrawal: Piglympics!

Turns out someone already thought of that – both Russia and China. But since we can’t find any record or mention of the games (or the Federation of Sport Pig Breeders for that matter) since 2006, we’re bringing back the games and making them even better!

Cheer your favorite porkers as they go for gold with grueling displays of Piglympic spirit in events like: 25 Meter Piggy Paddle, Piggy Polo, Svineball (or soccer as we call it in the US), 66 Meter Hurdles, 66 Meter Dash, and new to the games this year: the Flying Pig Jump.

So grab some pork rinds and set the DVR because you won’t want to miss a minute of the Porktastic action of the 2010 Piglympics!
