If I buy pork meat from shop, it has very little of fat. Almost nothing.
We don't have small butcher shops, only big supermarkets. Small shops have died long time ago. We have some smaller shops, but they are also big chains that put up shops in places where lives people who don't have cars to go to supermarket. Their prices are high, of course, and products are not so good.
Times are tough for ex-pro cook. I can't even buy cow bones anymore to cook basic things for the sauces, I must buy factory made powder. It's not the same thing. How can you made perfect red wine sauce from powder?

Finn, that sucks man. I hadn't thought that perhaps you don't have pork farmers there where you can find freshly slaughtered pigs. Maybe you should take a trip to Germany and get some goods; I couldn't imagine they will ever stop eating all sorts of pork products.
I can't believe you have to use some Knorr like crap for stock. Man I think I would move if I couldn't get decent food. That's about my #1 priority when I choose a place to live.
