huh that is odd...i ve had people ask for chicken skin before but pork flesh? don't suppose it might be something for dogs? and the price...don't ask me...maybe they consider it as good as a tenderloin there.
I just had a customer ask for pork skin the other day. She said she had allergies and could only process certain proteins and pork skin was one of them. Weird.
I used to use a pork Skinning machine and to my knowlege the cheap German man I worked for threw the skin away. If he only knew he had a fortune in the bone can.
lol@pork *flesh* label..that's awesome...we save the skin out our plant...several differnt things we do with it from using it in blood sausage to retail sales..
Pete when I seen this I thought maybe it's from some of those Bigggg hogs. I use to hate having to cut some of big hogs and I hate to have to sell ribs from them, how people can eat them is beyond me, they must boil them a longggggggggg time lol

I hated those big old sows when I worked in Demark had to use a hook lift just to place it on the cutting table, three times the size I use in my shop.
That's in Australia so it's AU$ per Kg, so about US$3.50 per pound. If you zoom in on the pick it looks like the rib portion of a single-rib belly and a big one could certainly be 5.38 Kg. A bit pricey for US but pork is expensive in Australia, not much grown and they have to import a lot of their corn. I've seen the word "flesh" used on a lot of labels from around the world in place of the word "meat".
down south pork skin like that off a fresh ham is used for a couple things ,cook it down and use the grease it makes for lard or cut in strips and baked for cracklins
I googled "Tasman Market Fresh Meats and they are in Melbourne, Victoria, Australia. (Where I come from, Queensland, Australia)
The pork flesh at $6.99 per kilo is probably forequarter meat. At that price it is fairly cheap.
If it is Australian Pork, it must be 'on the bone. However, we can only import "off the bone" pork. It may be from imported pork from Skandinavia shipped to Australia and 'on sold. A ship load of pork must attract a certain amount of freight but this doesnt seem to matter even if it has to be sent half way across the world. It still seems to remains competitive in price.
