Ahhh.... porkbelly is the Donald Trump of pork!!

 

Rafute is very good! There's a tiny place close to the train tracks

does it, and I love it! Sadly the wife thinks the place looks too

to go there often, but from time to time, I sneak away for my fix.

 Wives - they're just so squeamish. Pig farmers have always been looked

 This is the truth!
 

down upon. The Okinawans were considered to be inferior, dirty, and
low
class by the Japanese because they raised pigs. The best you could say
about pork is that it's cheaper than beef. These days, I mostly buy
ground pork. I love pork belly but don't typically cook it.

 Pigs have a great personality, are intelligent kind and caring! I'm no
cow
racist, but I think generally the pig is more social. When I make meat
balls, I go 50/50 beef/pork mince. I find it much better.
 

Pigs, chickens, and dogs, were the main meat source that the voyagers
brought with them to Hawaii in ancient times. Compared to a cow, pigs
are a lot more portable. Of course, the old Hawaiians never saw
cattle.
Good thing - those critters would certainly rock the boat.

 Aha! So that's what's for dinner tonight then? ;)

 Pigs have a great personality? That's good to know. It's awesome that
the cow and pig can get along so well. Sometimes the pigs come down from
the mountain and hang around the other side of the fence in the parking
lot. The kids just love the pigs. They get across the highway by going
through the drainage tunnel. Well, that's what I've been told anyway.

 That is one wary looking pig.

 This pig is a lot more friendly - unfortunately, I think it's dead.
That's so sad!

 That was one happy pig! If true, it is indeed sad.

 Pig hunting is popular around here. The boar was tied to a cage that had
hunting dogs.

 Ouch! Well, if he had to go, he had to go. Maybe he ended up in a taco
or
two? =D

It probably didn't end up a taco but was smoked, or turned into sausage,
or cooked in a pit. There's a lot of wild pigs in Hawaii. All you have
to do is catch it, kill it, cook it, and eat them up. They're considered
to be a pest but it's all cool as long as they stay up in the mountains
where they belong.

The weird thing about pigs is that a domestic pig can turn into a feral
pig after a short time in the wild. It's a physical change on a genetic
level. How strange is that? My guess is that a lot of wild pigs used to
be domestic pigs that escaped into the wild. That's a heck of a story
right there.

Fascinating! Who knew they had it in them? Boars are seen as a pest in sweden as well, and hunters are encouraged to shoot them. It is very tasty meat, so I support them as long as I can get a kg or two of meat! =)
