Would You Deny This Pig?


New low levels. This bucket contains fish guts. This pig is very cute, though, so don't you want to feed him something his likes? I mean loves? Did you know pigs love fish guts?
Yup. Fishermen in Maine used to (probably still do?) feed their pigs the fish guts all summer, then corn for a few weeks before slaughter so they didn't taste like, well, fish. I know the pigs like something because they'll fight over it when I pour it into the slop trough. When I first poured a few fish guts found in Oakland's Chinatown, they literally shrieked with delight. So William and I go out on fish-finding missions and get them want they really want. Oh, so gross, yet so cute, and later, so delicious.

I meant to ask if you intended to slaughter your pigs. Now it's all clear. I totally respect that, though I could never do it.

Would the meat really taste of fish guts?

Dang! I wish I could be there to help you dig through questionable dumpsters for questionable fish guts!
