Mm! I like Pork and Ginger as a combination…but then love ginger and Pork… so I might jsut add ginger to this one.
I have a friend who says of pigs: I love pigs, they are so intelligent. On top of that they are great to eat.
Echoes my feelings precisley.

Pigs wallow in mud, and yet they are eaten? More brandy please– that way I don’t know what I’m eating.

Maynard - Pigs wallow if allowed. I once had a holiday on a pig farm in Denmark, there was no mud and no smell!
Baino - Save the recipe for the cooler days.
