Top 10 Reasons to Eat Pigs
UPDATE: KingDavid pointed out a holiday that I missed: Tuesday, 2 October was apparently World Farm Animals Day. PETA-types had all sorts of protests against the subjugation of their brother/sister creatures. Not sure how I missed it, but in honor of the festivities, here’s my earlier homage to farm animals.
ORIGINAL POST: The PETA folks have created a Top 10 Reasons Not to Eat Pigs site. You can look it up if you want, but I won’t give them a link. Here is my response:
The Top 10 Reasons to Eat Pigs
1. Bacon. Need I say more? Goes well with scrambled eggs, rye toast, grits, and coffee.
2. Bacon. Did I say that already?Because it irritates this guy.
3. Pork Tenderloin sammiches. Just like we used to get at the McLean County Fair. Tractor pulls, stock shows, demolition derby and a big breaded slab o’ pork hanging out of the bun. Mustard and a tad of mayo. Mmmmm.
4. Bratwurst (and assorted other sausages). Marinated in dark beer with onions and then grilled just so.
5. Ribs. Wet, dry or sweet, it’s all good.
6. Country Ham. No need to adulterate it with cloves or pineapple, just pink juicy goodness. Perfect for after-Christmas leftovers sandwiches.
7. Biscuits and gravy. This was a staple in my college days for the morning after the night before. And a dash or three of tabasco.
8. Did I mention bacon yet?
9. Pork Chops. Lightly grilled and tender, so the juices flow when you cut it.
10. And finally, because pigs are made of meat!

LOVE it.
12. Carnitas, sizzling in fajitas, or in soft corn tortilla tacos.
13. Real, homemade steamed tamales, with pork shoulder simmered in red chile sauce, where the juices soak the masa and turn all of it reddish-orange.
No one does pork like Mexicans.

You really should be careful with your word choice when describing people you strongly disagree with.
Just a thought…

Am I missing something in this blog? I don’t see where you have described anybody to the point of being offensive. Is this your mother making a comment. The Muslim reference is pretty mild compared to about 1 million other blog sites; as well as compared to the offensiveness of Muslims toward everybody else in the world.

David,
I edited a rather derogatory adjective of the PETA folks.

[...] lives. It’s in that second part that I tend to stumble. When I made the previous post about eating pig, I included a rather uncharitable descriptor for the PETA folks. That’s not how we are called [...]

My favorite meal is Bacon smothered in bacon with a side order of Bacon. No need for gravy or biscuits to distract your tastebuds from WONDERFUL BACON. I am at a spiritual healing retreat in North Carolina this week for ministry and they had sausage for breakfast. It just left me wanting bacon. Next time I will bring my own bacon.
