Four (or Five!) Reasons Why

….We Love Pigs

1. Bacon. Is there any other meat that is as universally loved? You can put bacon on pretty much anything, and people will welcome its addition with open arms. In fact, you could run with the slogan: “Bacon; it’s not just for breakfast”. And bacon is one meat that has the ability to break the resistance of most die-hard vegetarians.

2. Ribs. I could eat ribs any time, any day with pretty much any type of sauce. Any meat that you can eat without using utensils can only be a good thing. Of course, I’m going to sniff my nose at beef ribs, but porks ribs rule the day. In fact, I’m starting to salivate just thinking about a nice rack of pork ribs.

3. Pork chops. For some reason, every time I think of pork chops, I think of Peter Brady saying “Pork chops and apple sauce” - probably due to far too much sit-com watching as a kid. Yup, pork chops with apple sauce are pretty ideal comfort food.

4. Ham. Probably one of the best things to slap between two pieces of bread. Give me a ham and cheese (preferably Edam or Havarti) any day of the week.

Homer: Are you saying you’re never going to eat any animal again? What about bacon?
Lisa: No.
Homer: Ham?
Lisa: No.
Homer: Pork chops?
Lisa: Dad, those all come from the same animal.
Homer: Heh heh heh. Ooh, yeah, right, Lisa. A wonderful, magical animal.
