Are you in Meen-ah-sota, J? I've stopped buying most supermarket pork
unless I know it hasn't been injected. I can't think of a Hormel
product that is not injectedÑ*maybe* bacon. Cub has uninjected pork
tenderloins on sale at their fresh meat case for $2.99/lb for the next
couple weeks. I think I've bought about 6 of them. Mostly I buy my
pork from Amor Pork <amorpork.com> or Ready Meats in NE Minneapolis.
