Birthday Blorkfest!

My sister is living in Oakland currently. So nice to know her friends out there are taking care of her on her birthday!


The Blorkfest invitation:




Celebrate the birthday of two dear friends- with meat.

The BLORK:




"From Mark...

...Morrocan blork.

grilled Dittemr's lamb merquez packed in onions
seared, morrocan marinated beef flap (aka skirt steak)
layer of grilled eggplant
brined, double butterflied pork shoulder (again) with a morrocan spice rub or something.

stuff it all in the butt and smoke it. sounds wrong but..."

Thanks to Rick Yu for permission to post the photos here at LTH.

Foodnut,

That looks fantastic. Where's the recipe? I've had it with Turduckens...after soemone from my office they would never eat anything that began with Turd. I can't wait to show him the Blork.

Please ask them to post a recipe. I liked the Declaration of Meat Dependence.

Looks like your sister is being well taken care of.

Edit: Better yet, have them patent the process and I'll fork over the dough.

Wow, that does look cool. Not sure I want sausage cooked inside other meat (I've had similar with sausage from the inside of a roast pig), but I am intrigued by the idea of a pork shoulder stuffed with hot links.

I have to assume this is not a traditional Moroccan receipt given the pork. No?

Response from the Blork originator:

"Glad you liked it. I have a pretty good description in the menus
and photo descriptions; we pretty much winged (wung?) it, and I
encourage
others to do the same! The worst blork will undoubtedly be better than
no blork. Besides, we have massive book and TV deal so I
don't want to give out specifics. Ha!"
