From what you have said, I'd expect that your Dad would have ordered
steak and potatoes:-}} Actually, we were on a coach tour of Italy and
there was one night when we were on our own for dinner, instead of the
usual group at a restaurant. A bunch of us went to a restaurant that
the guide recommended. The owner set us up in a private upstairs room.
He provided four pasta dishes, and we order individual entree dishes
from a menu. Two of the pasta dishes were red sauce and two were white
sauce, including one that had caviar in it. Since we were in an
Italian restaurant, I decided to order lasagna from the menu. Gail went
with some sort of steak. My lasagna was good, but not much different
than we might make a home. Gail's steak was the best she has had --
before or since.

I'd not expect to see pork shank on the menu at Olive Garden.
2 qt Water
1/2 c Salt
1/4 c Sugar
2 tb Pickling spice
1 sm Apple, finely chopped
I put the meat into the brine in ziplock bags and let them
"cure" for four days.
Drain the meat and pat it dry; smoke over mesquite (all I had at the
time) at 275 F for four hours.
Remove from smoker, wrap in foil and chill 24 hours before slicing.
May be eaten cold with black bread the way they do in Eastern Europe,
or slice and fry in a skillet over low heat until fat is crunchy and
meat is browned.
It came out so good I plan to do it again.
If you want to try it, you may be abvle to get the pork belly at
H-Mart.
