History of baked pork

Boiled pork is a piece of meat cooked in a special spicy mixture of pepper and spices and entirely baked in the oven at a certain temperature. Usually, for the preparation of this dish the pork is used, while lamb or beef are used rather seldom. Another distinguishing feature of this particular meat delicacy is the structure because it should not be too fatty.
