National Crown of Roast Pork Day

A crown roast is a dish made from a rack of pork rib roast that is formed into a circle and tied with string to create a crown-like shape. The bones are often frenched, meaning that the meat is scraped off the bones and they are cleaned for presentation. The center of the crown roast is often filled with stuffing or other ingredients, and the roast is typically seasoned with herbs and spices. Crown roasts are often served as a centerpiece for special occasions, such as Christmas or Thanksgiving, and can be accompanied by a variety of sides such as roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or cranberry sauce.
