Pork - to me, it seems like as a category, it has the most variation. Chops, ground, roasts, bacon, hams, etc…they’re all really distinct compared to each other.
Other than that, I just prefer it. It’s hard to go wrong with pork, AFAIC.

I like bacon. I like gammon ( especialy smoked gammon). And then there is the crackling on a roast joint. Delicious! But I'm afraid of cooking plain pork, such as fillet or chops. It seems to be rather bland in flavour and dry. It may be me, as I am not a great meat cook.

I like pork because it's almost boundless, as TastyReuben noted, but I predominantly eat chicken. It's a budget thing; I can afford fowl all day long.

Pork chops, you can’t save them in a freezer, you have to eat them right away.
I have to say I eat pork and chicken equally, whichever one that’s on sale at the weekly ad. So I didn’t vote.

I save pork chops in the freezer all the time. Why aren’t you able to save them in the freezer?
Someone voted 'other meat'. I'm curious...

You can save them, but they will be like eating cardboard. I cook before I save them. It has to have a bit of sauce because freezing is dehydrating.
That’s not been my experience at all. I vacuum-seal them and they freeze fine and taste great.
Does that happen for you with other meats, like a beef steak or boneless skinless chicken breast?

Yes, the key word is vacuum-seal, I don’t do that.
I only freeze in a glass container, if I do freeze, the meat is already cooked in some sauce. I don't freeze beef steaks either.

, you couldn't hazard a guess! Pork tongues are probably other and what about stomach, hearts to? They're muscles but I haven't looked up the definition of meat...
