Why do you need to eat meat every day?

They usually soak it in a bleach solution to kill the smell a bit. Must have skipped that batch. BTW they also soak fish, beef and other meats in that solution. In fact when you see "fresh" fish packaged at the market and it has an orange or lemon sticker on it, it means it has been soaked in that solution a few times. Do not buy it!!

PP is that what boar taint is?

Hush, city girl. Pigs are actually very clean. They stink but they're very particular about their habitat. They tend to poop in the same spot and they never root in their poop.

Although they do have an inclination to poop where they drink. But (I raised them for a couple of years) this is true.

But commercially grown hogs live in pens with grated floors, they don't get to root in anything, and the poop falls below the grates.

No idea what happened with pp's pork loin though. Many of the ones I grew were sold on the hoof in our rural community and customers were always impressed with the quality and flavor.

No, boar taint would be related to the fact that most male pigs are castrated when they're a couple of weeks old.

Just don’t eat pork. They are kind and loving animals, smarter than dogs.

This thread makes me think about the pig with the poop on his ba11s, gross

Maybe the pork loin was about to go bad.

(rolls eyes) Pulp Fiction quote, sweetie.

A dog eats its own shit. Is a dog a filthy animal?

Well, I wouldn't necessarily call them a filthy animal,but they definitely dirty. But I wouldn't eat no dog either.

I just found this thread while scrolling for Christmas brunch recipes. I’ve been dieting and have been hangry, but thanks to this thread I’m back on track. Also I refuse to look up boar taint but at first I thought someone was literally joking that it was the taint of a boar. Lol
