I think you're right that my approach is unusual. I think I came to
it gradually. As a reaction to increasingly lean and dry pork loin
roasts I turned to shoulder as a way to get more of the fat and flavor
I was looking for. Then I found that sliced pork shoulder made very
satisfying sandwiches, both hot and cold. We still will have a pork
loin roast but I look them over very carefully when I buy, trying to
find the least lean.
