东北酱脊骨 Braised Pork Spine

Pinyin: dōng běi jiàng jǐ gǔ

A dish fit for a man. Meat and bones greasy and fried, not much in the way of spices or strange flavors, just meat and grease.

I've never had braised pork spine before, it seems as though it's a lot like pork ribs, but more difficult to eat. Trying to dig in to the corners and crevices while keeping the cheeks clean was basically impossible. After the fact I'm not really sure that you could give the bones to a dog but I'm sure they'd appreciate it.

The only real complaint I had was that it was a bit greasy, overall the dish was just OK, nothing to rave about.
