Oink Oink

pig-feeding-hampshireI feel like I have been inundated with pig talk today! The first thing, we send our reject chocolate to a pig farm, which is nothing new for pig farmers to feed their livestock “leftovers.” There is a shipment going out today, which gets me to wondering about the pig’s meat; does the chocolate influence its flavor? I’d like to think so. Someday I hope to bite into a pork chop and get a subtle hint of chocolate lurking in the meat.

The second pig shout out today was by my friend, Matt, who loves pig flesh-both eating and cooking it. He boldly stated that carnitas (pork shoulder) is the best use of a pig. I must admit, I myself have never had a carnita, so I can’t confirm nor deny his claim, but it definitely piqued my interest!

Lastly, I read about feral pigs in this blog entry on Chow, which is my new favorite food website. It even won a “Beardy”
