| Hog maw or shodin is a pig's stomach commonly stuffed with a sausage mixture, simmered until done, then baked until brown. It's usually available only by special order and should be stored in the refrigerator for no more than 2 days; unless of course you have slaughtered the hog yourself. Before using, the stomach should be cleaned of all membrane, rinsed thoroughly, then patted dry.
Cajun's typically refer to the stuffed stomach as stuffed shodin pronounced "show dan". |

| Today's pork isn't the meat that inspired phrases like "fat as a hog" and "eat like a pig." In fact, today's pork has an average of 31% less fat, 14% fewer calories and 10% less cholesterol than the pork your parents and grandparents ate when they were young. Farmers today are breeding and feeding hogs to produce leaner meat. |

| Steaks are among the most popular fresh beef cuts. The best steaks, in terms of tenderness, are from the loin and include the Filet mignon, Porterhouse, T-bone, and top loin strip. Steaks cut from the chuck, round, and flank are much less expensive and less tender, but they are very flavorful. |
| Beef round steak is one of the more popular beef cuts that many people enjoy especially the Cajuns. Inexpensive cuts of meat can be made tender with the use of a meat marinade or pounding. Packaged marinades are available in the grocery store. They add flavor as well as improve the texture. Ziploc bags work great for marinating meats. They don’t take as much space in the refrigerator and can be turned easily to coat all sides. Not yet rated |
