Skirt is pork offal meat. When cooked with Kidney in a stew it becomes a culinary masterpiece that even Mr. Wonka himself would be proud of. Skirt has a strange property i.e. it can be chewed indefinitely. So, if you are the kind of person that likes a bit of meat with every bite of spuds/vegetables you need only eat one piece of skirt and keep chewing it for the entire meal. Very economical indeed.
