Behold the pig. Both beloved and bemoaned, adored and abhorred, what other animal garners such extremes of praise and condemnation? I’ve been in a pig state of mind lately, from all the Easter ham to a recent revisit of the amazing movie ‘Misery’ – which remains a frightening film.
When you think about the pig, for purposes of eating, it’s also quite a variable creature. The traditional pork – nicknamed the other white meat – is from the same source as those spirals hams, yet they look nothing alike. And where does bacon come into play in this conundrum? So much confusion, all from a single oinker.
Porky or Peppermint, give me a pig and I’m a happy camper.
