Oink! Pork Fat Rules, Not Sharia!
If you have not heard about the ridiculous anti-pig and anti-piglet occurences in the UK, you need to read up on it! The Lost Budgie Blog has a run down on the most recent offense against pigs.
Over at Relapsed Catholic, Kathy has more.
I am joining the Save Piglet movement. In fact, the upcoming Carnival of the Recipes will be NOTHING BUT PORK!
So, denizens of the recipe world - send your very best Pork Recipes to recipe.carnival@gmail.com - to be revealed next weekend.
Because, you know, if Piglet is banned in England because Muslims are offended by piggies, bacon will be banned next. And then Canada will follow suit.
So everyone, search out your great pork recipes, because they will be featured in the next Carnival of the Recipes!!!

No one picks on Pigglet.
Just for that, I'll be sending over my Pernil Recipe.

This Piglet nonsense is almost enough to make me start a blog of my own. If I do, the first post will be my slow cooker recipe for BBQ Pork with Carolina sauce for your carnival.

Brilliant, Beth! Almost makes me want to start eating meat, just so I can stick my finger in their eye! :D

Awww! pigs are cute, pigs are yummy, and according to Professor Grandin's interview with a successful hog breeder (It's in "Animals in Translation" somewhere) pigs are perverts.
What's not to love?

Don't know whether it's appropriate to share these pictures with all gentle readers of this fine BLOG. The pictures contained herein are not suitable for queasy sensibilities... much less to the PETA crowd.
That being said, every Christmas time, we Island People, render honor to the noble Piggie thusly.
First we set Messrs. Piggies on a spit to slow roast upon a bed of wood charcoals for about 12-hours. About this time, the aroma is wafting all throughout. and people start pinching the hind quarters for fall-of-the-bone goodness.
We then take One Little Piggy, Two Little Piggies out, and retract the pole.
"Careful now, don't jump into the piggie before I'm done! "; warns the Machete-wielding Pork Disassembler.
Take THIS, you INFIDEL. Allah-u-Akbar!!!
Yard Chickens furiously pick on the flying bits of pork, as they get dibbs on this tasty treat. (It's O.K., next week will be their turn; as Stewed Chicken is in the offing).
Mr. Piggie is quickly reduced to bite-sized pieces.
And now, it's time for some goodness. YUMM - YUMM - YUMM!!!

Beth, you might enjoy my visual take on this story. I also should mention that I think that our ire should be focused on the hyper-PC Dudley Council government not on the Muslim employee at the benefits office or other Muslims. They're entitled to believe what they want to believe and go where they want to go. But they should be aware that pigs are a part of Western culture, we keep pigs and eat them, and, in the West, they should expect to encounter images of pigs.
