I finally ran across the Niman Ranch brand of pork I've heard so much
about, in the form of a "pork top round roast" at Trader Joe's. That's

not a term I've heard used for pork before. It was less than 2 lbs.,
boneless, rolled and tied. Does anyone know what this cut is?

Beef top round is the inner muscle from the hind leg... pork top round
is the same muscle, it's part of a fresh ham. If you paid more than
$1.49/lb you got ripped off. Whole fresh ham sells for about $1.39
lb... next time choose a whole fresh ham and ask the butcher to bone it
and cut out and tie the top round... will probably not charge you.
Have the butcher butterfly the rest, you can roast it stuffed. With a
little practice you can learn to do this yourself. I'd simply roast
the fresh ham with the top round intact... I wouldn/t light my oven for
ameasly two pound chunk of meat.
