I LIVE for science!!!
So, while peccarries and pigs are all even-toed ungulates, so are giraffes, and hippos. So tell me, how is hippo bacon? I never see that at the store.
If it doesn't oink or have a curled up tail it's not a pig or a hog. Personally I think a peccary is a step above pork - they are the only native American of the 3.

Originally posted by WT_TKW View PostPigs, hogs and peccaries are all members of the order Artiodactyla, or the even-toed ungulates. Other members of the order include giraffes, hippopotamuses and musk deer. The eight genera of pigs and hogs, divided into 16 species, are all members of the Suidae family, while peccaries are members of the Tayassuidae family. Pigs and hogs are native to Europe, Asia and Africa. The Old World peccaries are extinct, leaving only the three species native to the Americas.

Now regular porkers! MMMM, home grown pork really spoils you!
I thought 45-85 lbs.
Are we all talking about the same animal????

Re: Year of the pig
Bacon is Bacon. Nothing compares to it.....HOWEVER here is a Turkey "Bacon" that is actually a VERY good breakfast meat. Give it a try as a "breakfast meat".

Btw that Whole Foods link was quite amusing with all the labels making one aware it's dairy free, etc..Last edited by LSC Fan; 05-21-2019, 06:08 PM.

Just like there is no such thing as Chicken Fajitas because chickens don't have beef skirts. So please call them grilled chicken strip tacos or whatever. Or squash spaghetti... I know some Italian grandmothers must be rolling around in their graves..

Also, I have tried turkey bacon, and it's fake bacon. They should feature it on CNN, along with their other fake news.
