Love of \u003ca href=\"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Al_pastor\">al pastor\u003c/a>, and love of pork (and let’s just get to this up front: I’m in no way saying this is the authentic Mexican way of making al pastor, but it’s a pretty darn good rendition). But back to my point. You’ll need to plan ahead, the marinade takes some time, but it makes a double batch that you can freeze so the next time you make it, it won’t take you so long.

There, a popular street stand called \u003ca href=\"https://www.yelp.com/biz/tacos-el-ivan-sayulita\">Tacos El Ivan\u003c/a> draws locals, ex-pats, and tourists who line up for the succulent fire-roasted, marinated meat on a spit topped with fiery homemade salsa and fresh pineapple. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I can’t recreate that memorable moment on a dusty street in Mexico, balancing many tacos on a plastic plate with a cold but sweaty Tecate, but I can try to come close! Get started the night before, readying the meat, and the tacos will come together in a snap the day you make them. Serve these on small, warm corn tortillas or tuck the meat and pineapple mixture into iceberg lettuce cups for a carb-free “taco.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_118320\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2017/06/al-pastor-tacos-finish.jpg\" alt=\"Grilled Pork Tacos, Al Pastor Style\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1280\" class=\"size-full wp-image-118320\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/06/al-pastor-tacos-finish.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/06/al-pastor-tacos-finish-160x107.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/06/al-pastor-tacos-finish-800x533.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/06/al-pastor-tacos-finish-768x512.jpg 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/06/al-pastor-tacos-finish-1020x680.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/06/al-pastor-tacos-finish-1180x787.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/06/al-pastor-tacos-finish-960x640.jpg 960w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/06/al-pastor-tacos-finish-240x160.jpg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/06/al-pastor-tacos-finish-375x250.jpg 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/06/al-pastor-tacos-finish-520x347.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Grilled Pork Tacos, Al Pastor Style \u003ccite>(Wendy Goodfriend)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003ch2>Recipe: Grilled Pork Tacos, Al Pastor Style\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Makes about 6 servings\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Ingredients:\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cstrong>\u003cem>Al Pastor Marinade\u003c/em>\u003c/strong>\n\u003cli>6 ancho chiles (2 1/2 to 3 ounces), wiped clean, seeds and stems discarded\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>1 1/4 cups chicken broth\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>1/2 cup water\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>1/4 cup white vinegar\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>2 tbsp vegetable oil\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>1 yellow onion, finely chopped\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>3 cloves garlic, minced\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>1 tbsp achiote paste\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>2 tsp ground cumin\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>2 tsp Mexican oregano\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>2 tsp kosher salt\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>1/3 cup orange juice\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>1 chipotle chile in adobo, plus 1 tbsp adobo sauce\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>1 tbsp brown sugar\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>2 lbs boneless pork butt roast\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>4 slices fresh pineapple, core removed, or 1 1/2 cups fresh pineapple chunks\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>1/2 small red onion, finely chopped\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>1 small jalapeno, seeded and minced (optional)\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Juice of 1 lime, plus more for serving\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Corn tortillas, warmed\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_118360\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2017/06/al-pastor-tacos-chiles.jpg\" alt=\"Ancho chiles, wiped clean, seeds and stems discarded.\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1280\" class=\"size-full wp-image-118360\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/06/al-pastor-tacos-chiles.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/06/al-pastor-tacos-chiles-160x107.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/06/al-pastor-tacos-chiles-800x533.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/06/al-pastor-tacos-chiles-768x512.jpg 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/06/al-pastor-tacos-chiles-1020x680.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/06/al-pastor-tacos-chiles-1180x787.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/06/al-pastor-tacos-chiles-960x640.jpg 960w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/06/al-pastor-tacos-chiles-240x160.jpg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/06/al-pastor-tacos-chiles-375x250.jpg 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/06/al-pastor-tacos-chiles-520x347.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Ancho chiles, wiped clean, seeds and stems discarded. \u003ccite>(Wendy Goodfriend)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003col>\n\u003cstrong>Instructions:\u003c/strong>\n\u003cli>You’ll need to marinate the pork overnight, so plan ahead!

Love of \u003ca href=\"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Al_pastor\">al pastor\u003c/a>, and love of pork (and let’s just get to this up front: I’m in no way saying this is the authentic Mexican way of making al pastor, but it’s a pretty darn good rendition). But back to my point. You’ll need to plan ahead, the marinade takes some time, but it makes a double batch that you can freeze so the next time you make it, it won’t take you so long. But I think it’s worth it. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I fell in love with al pastor tacos the first time I visited \u003ca href=\"http://www.sayulita.com/\">Sayulita\u003c/a>, a little surfer beach town north of Puerto Vallarta on the Pacific coast of Mexico. There, a popular street stand called \u003ca href=\"https://www.yelp.com/biz/tacos-el-ivan-sayulita\">Tacos El Ivan\u003c/a> draws locals, ex-pats, and tourists who line up for the succulent fire-roasted, marinated meat on a spit topped with fiery homemade salsa and fresh pineapple. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I can’t recreate that memorable moment on a dusty street in Mexico, balancing many tacos on a plastic plate with a cold but sweaty Tecate, but I can try to come close! Get started the night before, readying the meat, and the tacos will come together in a snap the day you make them. Serve these on small, warm corn tortillas or tuck the meat and pineapple mixture into iceberg lettuce cups for a carb-free “taco.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_118320\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2017/06/al-pastor-tacos-finish.jpg\" alt=\"Grilled Pork Tacos, Al Pastor Style\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1280\" class=\"size-full wp-image-118320\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/06/al-pastor-tacos-finish.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/06/al-pastor-tacos-finish-160x107.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/06/al-pastor-tacos-finish-800x533.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/06/al-pastor-tacos-finish-768x512.jpg 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/06/al-pastor-tacos-finish-1020x680.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/06/al-pastor-tacos-finish-1180x787.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/06/al-pastor-tacos-finish-960x640.jpg 960w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/06/al-pastor-tacos-finish-240x160.jpg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/06/al-pastor-tacos-finish-375x250.jpg 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/06/al-pastor-tacos-finish-520x347.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Grilled Pork Tacos, Al Pastor Style \u003ccite>(Wendy Goodfriend)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003ch2>Recipe: Grilled Pork Tacos, Al Pastor Style\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Makes about 6 servings\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Ingredients:\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cstrong>\u003cem>Al Pastor Marinade\u003c/em>\u003c/strong>\n\u003cli>6 ancho chiles (2 1/2 to 3 ounces), wiped clean, seeds and stems discarded\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>1 1/4 cups chicken broth\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>1/2 cup water\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>1/4 cup white vinegar\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>2 tbsp vegetable oil\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>1 yellow onion, finely chopped\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>3 cloves garlic, minced\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>1 tbsp achiote paste\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>2 tsp ground cumin\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>2 tsp Mexican oregano\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>2 tsp kosher salt\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>1/3 cup orange juice\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>1 chipotle chile in adobo, plus 1 tbsp adobo sauce\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>1 tbsp brown sugar\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>2 lbs boneless pork butt roast\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>4 slices fresh pineapple, core removed, or 1 1/2 cups fresh pineapple chunks\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>1/2 small red onion, finely chopped\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>1 small jalapeno, seeded and minced (optional)\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Juice of 1 lime, plus more for serving\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Corn tortillas, warmed\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_118360\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2017/06/al-pastor-tacos-chiles.jpg\" alt=\"Ancho chiles, wiped clean, seeds and stems discarded.\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1280\" class=\"size-full wp-image-118360\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/06/al-pastor-tacos-chiles.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/06/al-pastor-tacos-chiles-160x107.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/06/al-pastor-tacos-chiles-800x533.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/06/al-pastor-tacos-chiles-768x512.jpg 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/06/al-pastor-tacos-chiles-1020x680.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/06/al-pastor-tacos-chiles-1180x787.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/06/al-pastor-tacos-chiles-960x640.jpg 960w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/06/al-pastor-tacos-chiles-240x160.jpg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/06/al-pastor-tacos-chiles-375x250.jpg 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/06/al-pastor-tacos-chiles-520x347.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Ancho chiles, wiped clean, seeds and stems discarded. \u003ccite>(Wendy Goodfriend)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003col>\n\u003cstrong>Instructions:\u003c/strong>\n\u003cli>You’ll need to marinate the pork overnight, so plan ahead!

The sandwich is one of the few traditional lunch items on the menu, and while they do plan to expand to a full lunch menu in coming months, the current focus is eggy breakfast and brunch dishes. There are hashbrowns (made in a waffle iron and spiked with cheese and green onions), biscuits, and a few items that fall in the You Could Probably Make It At Home But Not As Well category: avocado toast with pickled red onions and cilantro crema, and a PB&J featuring seasonal jam and chunky peanut butter on a \u003ca href=\"http://www.firebrandartisanbreads.com/\" target=\"_blank\">Firebrand\u003c/a> croissant.

It comes with a good amount of crispy applewood bacon piled on a fluffy brioche roll from San Francisco’s \u003ca href=\"http://www.panoramabaking.com/\" target=\"_blank\">PANoRAMA\u003c/a>, topped with cheddar and a perfectly cooked, runny egg.

They opened on January 2, and just a few days later, it’s already packed with hungry office workers on their lunch break (“Twenty Yelp reviews already,” someone behind me in line noted.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_114519\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-full wp-image-114519\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2017/01/unnamed-4.jpg\" alt=\"Gastropig co-owners Ann Thai and Loren Goodwin.\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1564\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/01/unnamed-4.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/01/unnamed-4-160x130.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/01/unnamed-4-800x652.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/01/unnamed-4-768x626.jpg 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/01/unnamed-4-1020x831.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/01/unnamed-4-1180x961.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/01/unnamed-4-960x782.jpg 960w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/01/unnamed-4-240x196.jpg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/01/unnamed-4-375x305.jpg 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/01/unnamed-4-520x424.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Gastropig co-owners Ann Thai and Loren Goodwin. \u003ccite>(Nikki Ritcher)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Both Thai and Goodwin live in Oakland, and Thai said she wants Gastropig to become a local institution--like beloved, recently shuttered \u003ca href=\"http://www.eastbaytimes.com/2016/04/30/genova-delicatessen-serves-its-last-sandwiches-in-oakland/\" target=\"_blank\">Genova Deli\u003c/a>, which they’ve named a deli sandwich after. The sandwich is one of the few traditional lunch items on the menu, and while they do plan to expand to a full lunch menu in coming months, the current focus is eggy breakfast and brunch dishes. There are hashbrowns (made in a waffle iron and spiked with cheese and green onions), biscuits, and a few items that fall in the You Could Probably Make It At Home But Not As Well category: avocado toast with pickled red onions and cilantro crema, and a PB&J featuring seasonal jam and chunky peanut butter on a \u003ca href=\"http://www.firebrandartisanbreads.com/\" target=\"_blank\">Firebrand\u003c/a> croissant. They offer fresh squeezed orange juice and coffee from Vallejo roasters \u003ca href=\"https://moschetti.com/\" target=\"_blank\">Moschetti\u003c/a>, and their cold brew is hearty and full-bodied from a mix of light, medium and dark roasted beans.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And, of course, there are the breakfast sandwiches.

It comes with a good amount of crispy applewood bacon piled on a fluffy brioche roll from San Francisco’s \u003ca href=\"http://www.panoramabaking.com/\" target=\"_blank\">PANoRAMA\u003c/a>, topped with cheddar and a perfectly cooked, runny egg. The only disappointment is the aioli. Its orange hue suggests spice, but tasting it reveals none.

Over the years, once I left home, I took this endeavor on myself (except for those years in college when I was a vegetarian, of course). I’ve slightly updated the recipe but the heart of it remains the same: you slowly cook a big hunk of pork shoulder in a covered baking dish for hours and hours until it is so fork-tender and meltingly delicious that you can eat it with a spoon. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I’ve also added sautéed onions, chunks of sweet-tart baking apples (I like Gala), and a little hit of chicken stock and apple cider to keep things juicy. Once upon a time I didn’t brown the pork before braising, and you don’t necessarily need to, but it definitely adds more color and flavor to the finished dish. I’d recommend taking the extra time to do this.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Use any kind of sauerkraut you like, but because this cooks so long in the oven, you may not want to splurge on the fancy stuff. I get a big glass jar of the Whole Foods brand sauerkraut, and after cooking along with the pork for so many hours, it becomes a whole different, succulent beast. Softer flavors, less bite, and oh-so-tender. (Of course, if you are wanting to eat \u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/2015/04/14/rediscovering-sauerkraut-as-a-versatile-health-food/\">sauerkraut\u003c/a> for it’s incredible health benefits, this might not be the best way to serve it up.

Over the years, once I left home, I took this endeavor on myself (except for those years in college when I was a vegetarian, of course). I’ve slightly updated the recipe but the heart of it remains the same: you slowly cook a big hunk of pork shoulder in a covered baking dish for hours and hours until it is so fork-tender and meltingly delicious that you can eat it with a spoon. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I’ve also added sautéed onions, chunks of sweet-tart baking apples (I like Gala), and a little hit of chicken stock and apple cider to keep things juicy. Once upon a time I didn’t brown the pork before braising, and you don’t necessarily need to, but it definitely adds more color and flavor to the finished dish. I’d recommend taking the extra time to do this.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Use any kind of sauerkraut you like, but because this cooks so long in the oven, you may not want to splurge on the fancy stuff. I get a big glass jar of the Whole Foods brand sauerkraut, and after cooking along with the pork for so many hours, it becomes a whole different, succulent beast. Softer flavors, less bite, and oh-so-tender. (Of course, if you are wanting to eat \u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/2015/04/14/rediscovering-sauerkraut-as-a-versatile-health-food/\">sauerkraut\u003c/a> for it’s incredible health benefits, this might not be the best way to serve it up. Still, it’s scrumptious!)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Once you pop it in the oven, just sit back, relax and think of what your resolutions might be for this coming year! (Eat more pork? Or maybe a nice long walk before eating all that pork.)\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Recipe: Braised Pork Shoulder with Sauerkraut and Apples\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Makes 6 to 8 servings\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_135036\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2016/12/Braised-Pork-Shoulder-Sauerkraut-and-Apples-fork-tender.jpg\" alt=\"Bake until the pork is meltingly tender.\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1280\" class=\"size-full wp-image-135036\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/12/Braised-Pork-Shoulder-Sauerkraut-and-Apples-fork-tender.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/12/Braised-Pork-Shoulder-Sauerkraut-and-Apples-fork-tender-160x107.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/12/Braised-Pork-Shoulder-Sauerkraut-and-Apples-fork-tender-800x533.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/12/Braised-Pork-Shoulder-Sauerkraut-and-Apples-fork-tender-768x512.jpg 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/12/Braised-Pork-Shoulder-Sauerkraut-and-Apples-fork-tender-1020x680.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/12/Braised-Pork-Shoulder-Sauerkraut-and-Apples-fork-tender-1200x800.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Bake until the pork is meltingly tender. \u003ccite>(Grace Cheung/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cstrong>Ingredients:\u003c/strong> \n\u003cli>One 4-lb boneless pork shoulder roast, trimmed of excess fat\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>2 tbsp olive oil\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>1 yellow onion, peeled, quartered, and thinly sliced\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>2 tart-sweet baking apples, peeled, cored, and cut into 1-inch chunks\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>1 (32-ounce) jar sauerkraut, drained and rinsed\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>3/4 cup low-sodium chicken stock\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>3/4 cup fresh, unfiltered apple juice or apple cider\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003col>\n\u003cstrong>Instructions:\u003c/strong> \n\u003cli>Preheat the oven to 325F.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Remove the pork from the refrigerator 30 to 60 minutes before cooking.

You may think that using ground pork instead of ground beef would be verboten in burgerland. But it’s just as flavorful and juicy as beef, and you can play around with the herbs, spices and create an entirely new flavor profile. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>These savory patties are livened up with a dash of umami soy sauce and sesame oil and get a bite from fresh ginger and green onions. You can leave out the brown sugar if you like, but pork partners well with sweet, and I like the addition. Don’t leave out the grilled pineapple slices though, as they really add a layer of sweetness and tang.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I topped mine off with peppery watercress, but you can use arugula or even baby spinach if you like. \u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_111755\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2016/08/porkburgers-2-final.jpg\" alt=\"Sesame-Ginger Pork Burgers with Grilled Pineapple\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1280\" class=\"size-full wp-image-111755\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/08/porkburgers-2-final.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/08/porkburgers-2-final-400x267.jpg 400w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/08/porkburgers-2-final-800x533.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/08/porkburgers-2-final-768x512.jpg 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/08/porkburgers-2-final-1440x960.jpg 1440w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/08/porkburgers-2-final-1180x787.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/08/porkburgers-2-final-960x640.jpg 960w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Sesame-Ginger Pork Burgers with Grilled Pineapple \u003ccite>(Wendy Goodfriend)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003ch2>Sesame-Ginger Pork Burgers with Grilled Pineapple\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Makes 4 servings\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cstrong>Ingredients:\u003c/strong>\n\u003cli>2 small or 1 large green onions, finely chopped\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>1 tbsp soy sauce or tamari\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>2 tsp brown sugar\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>1 tsp sesame oil\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>1 tsp grated fresh ginger\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>1 1/4 lb ground pork\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Four 1/2-inch-thick slices fresh pineapple, cored\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Olive oil for brushing\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>4 whole wheat or sesame burger buns, split\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Mayonnaise, for serving (optional)\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>1 cup chopped watercress, baby spinach, or daikon sprouts\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003col>\n\u003cstrong>Instructions\u003c/strong>\n\u003cli>In a bowl, whisk together the green onions, soy sauce, sesame oil, sugar, and ginger.

Not that it isn’t a memorable meal, but it always feels kind of special. It’s always a kind of “ah-ha!” moment when I think, “What should I make for dinner?” especially if we have friends or family coming over.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The great thing about pork tenderloin is that it’s so easy to prepare, plus it’s incredibly delicious and endlessly versatile. You can grill it as is, simply seasoned with a bit of salt and pepper and rubbed with olive oil, and then serve it with all kinds of different sauces, salsas, chutneys, or even grilled stone fruit. Because pork fares well with fruit and sweeter sauces, I tend to pair it with things in season: grilled peaches or nectarines, a fresh plum chutney, or even mango salsa.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But I also like it’s savory side, and this dish is everything savory.

You can grill it as is, simply seasoned with a bit of salt and pepper and rubbed with olive oil, and then serve it with all kinds of different sauces, salsas, chutneys, or even grilled stone fruit. Because pork fares well with fruit and sweeter sauces, I tend to pair it with things in season: grilled peaches or nectarines, a fresh plum chutney, or even mango salsa.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But I also like it’s savory side, and this dish is everything savory.

Just spear them with a fancy toothpick and you have protein-packed finger food. And one thing I love about meatballs is how versatile they can be, just by altering some of the flavorings you put in them. Whether you go for oregano-and-fennel seed fragranced Italian meatballs, spicy chipotle albóndigas, or these garlicky Sriracha-spiked pork meatballs with loads of herbs, you (and your guests) are sure to be happy, and well fed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I’m particularly fond of these little gems, because they are slightly unexpected. They are also beautifully balances with flavors of sweet, salty, tangy, spicy, and umami.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Set them out with the tangy dipping sauce or if you want to get really fancy, turn them into meatball bánh mì sliders! Just stuff these flavorful meatballs into hunks of baguette and top with pickled carrots, cucumbers, sliced jalapeños. If you are feeling extra naughty, add some thin slices of pork pate. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>You can make bigger meatballs too if you like, or double this recipe to feed a crowd.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_106679\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2016/02/meatballs-final1.jpg\" alt=\"Vietnamese Pork Meatballs with Sweet-Tangy Garlic Dipping Sauce\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1280\" class=\"size-full wp-image-106679\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/02/meatballs-final1.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/02/meatballs-final1-400x267.jpg 400w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/02/meatballs-final1-800x533.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/02/meatballs-final1-768x512.jpg 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/02/meatballs-final1-1440x960.jpg 1440w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/02/meatballs-final1-1180x787.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/02/meatballs-final1-960x640.jpg 960w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Vietnamese Pork Meatballs with Sweet-Tangy Garlic Dipping Sauce\u003cbr> \u003ccite>(Wendy Goodfriend)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003ch3>Vietnamese Pork Meatballs with Sweet-Tangy Garlic Dipping Sauce\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Makes 16 meatballs\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}},{"type":"component","content":"","name":"ad","attributes":{"named":{"label":"fullwidth"},"numeric":["fullwidth"]}},{"type":"contentString","content":"\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Ingredients:\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cstrong>\u003cem>Dipping sauce\u003c/em>\u003c/strong>\n\u003cli>1/3 cup water\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>1 1/2 tablespoons sugar\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>2 teaspoons rice vinegar\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>2 tablespoons fish sauce\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Juice from 1/2 lime\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>1/2 fresh red Thai chile, seeded and finely chopped\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>1 small garlic clove, finely chopped\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Scant 1/4 cup very finely julienned or shredded carrot\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cstrong>\u003cem>Meatballs\u003c/em>\u003c/strong>\n\u003cli>1/4 cup fresh breadcrumbs\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>1 egg yolk\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>1 green onion, trimmed and minced\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>1 garlic clove, minced\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>1 tablespoon fish sauce\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh basil\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>1 tablespoon finely chopped mint\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>1 tablespoon finely chopped cilantro\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>1 tablespoon Sriracha (optional)\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>1 teaspoon sugar\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>1/2 teaspoon kosher salt\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>2/3 lb ground pork\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Canola oil\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003col>\n\u003cstrong>Instructions:\u003c/strong>\n\u003cli>To make the sauce, in a small saucepan over medium heat combine the water, sugar, and rice vinegar.

Edition:\u003c/strong>\u003cbr>\nhttp://pd.npr.org/anon.npr-mp3/npr/me/2015/08/20150814_me_a_muscle_drug_for_pigs_comes_out_of_the_shadows.mp3\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the coming months, a few shoppers will encounter a new and unfamiliar phrase when looking at packages of pork: \"Produced without the use of ractopamine.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It's the brainchild of David Maren, founder of \u003ca href=\"https://tendergrass.com/\">Tendergrass Farms\u003c/a>, which sells pork products from pigs raised the \"all-natural\" way, on pasture.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Maren first heard about ractopamine years ago, when he was just getting into this business. Maren was talking with his cousin, who raises pigs the conventional way, in big hog houses.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"At one point I mentioned to him something like, 'Well, I know you use hormones to raise your pigs, and that's why they grow so fast,' \" recalls Maren. \"And he said, 'No! Hormones are illegal in pork production in this country. We don't use hormones and we never have.' \"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Then his cousin added, \"We do use ractopamine.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Maren had never heard of this drug. \"It's not something that I hear anybody talking about,\" he says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This is odd, he says, because ractopamine is a very big deal in the pork industry. Most pigs in America get this drug, because it's extremely effective. It's a \"beta agonist\" and has effects that are similar to adrenaline. It gets a pig to put on more muscle, instead of fat, and also put on weight more quickly. That's money in the farmer's pocket: According to some experts, it adds two or three dollars of income per pig.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Food and Drug Administration says that ractopamine is safe. The agency approved its use in pigs in 1999.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But the drug still arouses some controversy. Safety regulators in the European Union, China, \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/sections/thesalt/2013/02/11/171727161/why-russia-is-saying-nyet-to-u-s-meat-imports\">Russia\u003c/a> and a variety of other countries have not approved the drug. They \u003ca href=\"http://www.efsa.europa.eu/en/efsajournal/pub/1041\">say\u003c/a> there's not yet enough evidence to prove that pork produced using ractopamine is safe to eat.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Apart from any human health concerns, there have been many \u003ca href=\"http://thefern.org/2012/01/dispute-over-drug-in-feed-limiting-u-s-meat-exports/\">reports\u003c/a> of animals suffering when they get too much of the drug.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There are pigs that don't get any ractopamine. Organic pork producers definitely don't use it. Natural pork producers probably don't — although Maren says that there's so little awareness of ractopamine use that many big buyers of \"all-natural\" pork don't even bother to ask about it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And consumers don't get any information about all that on pork labels. It's never mentioned.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>David Maren decided that he wanted to tell the world that his company's pork is ractopamine-free. He thought consumers might pay a little extra for that, the same way that some consumers look for meat that's raised without antibiotics.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Tendergrass Farms is always looking to get as much value for our products as possible,\" he says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So last year, he drew up a new label containing these words: \"Our pigs are never fed beta-agonists (like Ractopamine) — drugs widely used as artificial growth promotants in the pork industry today.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Meat labels have to get approval from the U.S. Department of Agriculture, though, which is supposed to make sure that labels are not false or misleading. The USDA refused to approve Maren's proposed label.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Officials at the USDA advised Maren to modify the label to say instead that \"our animals are never fed growth promotants,\" and to include an additional statement that \"federal regulations prohibit the use of hormones in pork.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Philip Derfler, deputy administrator of the USDA's \u003ca href=\"http://www.fsis.usda.gov/wps/portal/fsis/home\">Food Safety Inspection Service\u003c/a>, which oversees meat labels, told The Salt that Maren's original proposal was confusing. \"Apparently, a judgment was made that the information wasn't being presented in a way that would be understandable to a consumer,\" he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Maren kept pushing, and after hearing that the USDA was reconsidering its position, he submitted a new proposal. The new label states that the product is made with \"no ractopamine — a beta-agonist growth promotant.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Last week, Maren got official notice that this label had been approved. Maren thinks it will be the first USDA-approved label on pork to explicitly mention ractopamine.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But he thinks it won't be the last one. \"I imagine that if anyone in the industry is talking about it, then everyone has to talk about it,\" he says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This does not sound like good news to some conventional pork producers, such as \u003ca href=\"https://vimeo.com/30081851\">David Hardin\u003c/a>, in Danville, Ind.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"When you put a label like that on there, it will immediately make the consumer think, 'Well what is this? It must be something bad,'\" he says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If consumers start to look for ractopamine-free labels, it could lead to pressure on farmers to stop using this profitable drug.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In fact, some farmers are feeling that pressure already, for another reason. One very big buyer of American pork is \u003ca href=\"http://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2015-08-11/pigs-using-muscle-drug-means-u-s-missing-china-pork-import-boom\">demanding\u003c/a> ractopamine-free pork, and it's a very big customer indeed: the nation of China.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Some big pork processors are asking farmers to deliver pork the way China wants it. \"If you sell to a processor that either does export to China or could potentially export to China, then you're probably going to see some pressure,\" says Hardin.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Hardin says that farmers are divided about how to respond to China's demands. Some farmers don't want to abandon ractopamine as a matter of principle.

Maren was talking with his cousin, who raises pigs the conventional way, in big hog houses.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"At one point I mentioned to him something like, 'Well, I know you use hormones to raise your pigs, and that's why they grow so fast,' \" recalls Maren. \"And he said, 'No! Hormones are illegal in pork production in this country. We don't use hormones and we never have.' \"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}},{"type":"component","content":"","name":"ad","attributes":{"named":{"label":"fullwidth"},"numeric":["fullwidth"]}},{"type":"contentString","content":"\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Then his cousin added, \"We do use ractopamine.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Maren had never heard of this drug. \"It's not something that I hear anybody talking about,\" he says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This is odd, he says, because ractopamine is a very big deal in the pork industry. Most pigs in America get this drug, because it's extremely effective. It's a \"beta agonist\" and has effects that are similar to adrenaline. It gets a pig to put on more muscle, instead of fat, and also put on weight more quickly. That's money in the farmer's pocket: According to some experts, it adds two or three dollars of income per pig.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Food and Drug Administration says that ractopamine is safe. The agency approved its use in pigs in 1999.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But the drug still arouses some controversy. Safety regulators in the European Union, China, \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/sections/thesalt/2013/02/11/171727161/why-russia-is-saying-nyet-to-u-s-meat-imports\">Russia\u003c/a> and a variety of other countries have not approved the drug. They \u003ca href=\"http://www.efsa.europa.eu/en/efsajournal/pub/1041\">say\u003c/a> there's not yet enough evidence to prove that pork produced using ractopamine is safe to eat.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Apart from any human health concerns, there have been many \u003ca href=\"http://thefern.org/2012/01/dispute-over-drug-in-feed-limiting-u-s-meat-exports/\">reports\u003c/a> of animals suffering when they get too much of the drug.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There are pigs that don't get any ractopamine. Organic pork producers definitely don't use it. Natural pork producers probably don't — although Maren says that there's so little awareness of ractopamine use that many big buyers of \"all-natural\" pork don't even bother to ask about it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And consumers don't get any information about all that on pork labels. It's never mentioned.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>David Maren decided that he wanted to tell the world that his company's pork is ractopamine-free. He thought consumers might pay a little extra for that, the same way that some consumers look for meat that's raised without antibiotics.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Tendergrass Farms is always looking to get as much value for our products as possible,\" he says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So last year, he drew up a new label containing these words: \"Our pigs are never fed beta-agonists (like Ractopamine) — drugs widely used as artificial growth promotants in the pork industry today.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Meat labels have to get approval from the U.S. Department of Agriculture, though, which is supposed to make sure that labels are not false or misleading. The USDA refused to approve Maren's proposed label.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Officials at the USDA advised Maren to modify the label to say instead that \"our animals are never fed growth promotants,\" and to include an additional statement that \"federal regulations prohibit the use of hormones in pork.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Philip Derfler, deputy administrator of the USDA's \u003ca href=\"http://www.fsis.usda.gov/wps/portal/fsis/home\">Food Safety Inspection Service\u003c/a>, which oversees meat labels, told The Salt that Maren's original proposal was confusing. \"Apparently, a judgment was made that the information wasn't being presented in a way that would be understandable to a consumer,\" he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Maren kept pushing, and after hearing that the USDA was reconsidering its position, he submitted a new proposal. The new label states that the product is made with \"no ractopamine — a beta-agonist growth promotant.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Last week, Maren got official notice that this label had been approved. Maren thinks it will be the first USDA-approved label on pork to explicitly mention ractopamine.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But he thinks it won't be the last one. \"I imagine that if anyone in the industry is talking about it, then everyone has to talk about it,\" he says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This does not sound like good news to some conventional pork producers, such as \u003ca href=\"https://vimeo.com/30081851\">David Hardin\u003c/a>, in Danville, Ind.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"When you put a label like that on there, it will immediately make the consumer think, 'Well what is this? It must be something bad,'\" he says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If consumers start to look for ractopamine-free labels, it could lead to pressure on farmers to stop using this profitable drug.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In fact, some farmers are feeling that pressure already, for another reason. One very big buyer of American pork is \u003ca href=\"http://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2015-08-11/pigs-using-muscle-drug-means-u-s-missing-china-pork-import-boom\">demanding\u003c/a> ractopamine-free pork, and it's a very big customer indeed: the nation of China.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Some big pork processors are asking farmers to deliver pork the way China wants it. \"If you sell to a processor that either does export to China or could potentially export to China, then you're probably going to see some pressure,\" says Hardin.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Hardin says that farmers are divided about how to respond to China's demands. Some farmers don't want to abandon ractopamine as a matter of principle. Using it, they point out, means cheaper pork for consumers and less stress on the environment (because pigs on ractopamine don't need as much feed, and don't produce as much manure.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Other farmers, he says, are ready to follow the signals of the market.

Swine reproduce far more quickly than cows and sheep, thanks to brief gestation periods and large litters, and pork only improves when cured with salt and smoke. If your goal is to produce a great deal of meat and then store it at room temperature — crucial before refrigerators came along — the pig is the animal for you.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Enormously useful as they are, swine have not been universally adored. The history of pigs is a tale of love and loathing. As long as pigs have existed, people have weighed their hunger for meat against worries about how the animals lived and what they ate. And today, we have just as much reason to worry about how pigs are living.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Pigs and people have similar digestive systems and similar diets: Both are omnivores who thrive on meat, roots and seeds. It was food that first brought them together. About 10,000 years ago, hunter-gatherers in Anatolia — now Turkey — settled down into villages. Almost immediately, Eurasian wild boars began slinking into town to devour scraps, spoiled grain and rotten fruit. In time, some of those scavenging boars evolved into domestic pigs. \u003cem>Sus scrofa domesticus\u003c/em> was the new species perfectly adapted to living alongside people.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>By 1,000 BC, however, our partnership with pigs had soured, a development marked most notably in the Book of Leviticus, which deemed pigs \"unclean.\" The Israelites could eat any beast that \"parteth the hoof, and is clovenfooted, and cheweth the cud.\" Cows, sheep and goats got the nod; pigs did not: \"though he divide the hoof, and be clovenfooted, yet he cheweth not the cud.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_98215\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1436px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2015/07/pieter_bruegel_the_elder_-_the_fair_at_hoboken_-_wga03527_custom-bd24cc424da80346e34466b7ec7a634a8917eba7.jpg\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2015/07/pieter_bruegel_the_elder_-_the_fair_at_hoboken_-_wga03527_custom-bd24cc424da80346e34466b7ec7a634a8917eba7.jpg\" alt=\"As Europe's forests were felled to grow crops, pigs took up residence in towns, as in this 1559 sketch "Fair at Hoboken" by Breugel the Elder.

The approved animals \"chew the cud,\" which is another way of saying they are ruminants that eat grass. Pigs \"cheweth not the cud\" because they possess simple guts, unable to digest cellulose. They eat calorie-dense foods, not only nuts and grains but also less salubrious items such as carrion, human corpses and feces. Pigs were unclean because they ate filth.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Jews were not alone in this prejudice. In the great civilizations of Mesopotamia and Egypt, priests and rulers avoided pork at all costs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Just across the Mediterranean, however, the Romans loved swine with a passion matched by few people before or since. Romans sacrificed pigs to their gods and created an elaborate pork-based cuisine, including some dishes—such as roast udder of lactating sow—that could make even a gentile shudder.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>What accounts for these differing views? In the Near East, an arid land, most pigs lived as urban scavengers. The Italian Peninsula, by contrast, boasted vast oak forests, and Rome imported wheat by the shipload. Rather than eating garbage in the streets, Roman pigs spent their days dining on acorns and grain.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The reputation of pork depends upon the life of the pig. In early medieval Europe, when most pigs foraged in the woods, pork was the preferred meat of the nobility. By 1300 most forests had been felled, and pigs became scavengers. In a medieval British text, a woman explains that she won't serve pork because pigs \"eat human shit in the streets.\" Pigs also dined on human flesh, which was available because executed prisoners, among others, were left unburied. In Shakespeare's \u003cem>Richard III\u003c/em>, the title character is described as a \"foul swine\" who \"Swills your warm blood like wash, and makes his trough / In your embowell'd bosoms.\" An Irish religious text noted, \"Cows feed only on grass and the leaves of trees, but swine eat things clean and unclean.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Pigs today eat a wholesome diet of corn and soybeans, but people have new reasons to avoid pork.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The most intelligent of farm animals, swine raised in the confined feeding operations that now dominate the industry endure the most inhumane conditions.

Swine reproduce far more quickly than cows and sheep, thanks to brief gestation periods and large litters, and pork only improves when cured with salt and smoke. If your goal is to produce a great deal of meat and then store it at room temperature — crucial before refrigerators came along — the pig is the animal for you.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Enormously useful as they are, swine have not been universally adored. The history of pigs is a tale of love and loathing. As long as pigs have existed, people have weighed their hunger for meat against worries about how the animals lived and what they ate. And today, we have just as much reason to worry about how pigs are living.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Pigs and people have similar digestive systems and similar diets: Both are omnivores who thrive on meat, roots and seeds. It was food that first brought them together. About 10,000 years ago, hunter-gatherers in Anatolia — now Turkey — settled down into villages. Almost immediately, Eurasian wild boars began slinking into town to devour scraps, spoiled grain and rotten fruit. In time, some of those scavenging boars evolved into domestic pigs. \u003cem>Sus scrofa domesticus\u003c/em> was the new species perfectly adapted to living alongside people.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>By 1,000 BC, however, our partnership with pigs had soured, a development marked most notably in the Book of Leviticus, which deemed pigs \"unclean.\" The Israelites could eat any beast that \"parteth the hoof, and is clovenfooted, and cheweth the cud.\" Cows, sheep and goats got the nod; pigs did not: \"though he divide the hoof, and be clovenfooted, yet he cheweth not the cud.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_98215\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1436px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2015/07/pieter_bruegel_the_elder_-_the_fair_at_hoboken_-_wga03527_custom-bd24cc424da80346e34466b7ec7a634a8917eba7.jpg\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2015/07/pieter_bruegel_the_elder_-_the_fair_at_hoboken_-_wga03527_custom-bd24cc424da80346e34466b7ec7a634a8917eba7.jpg\" alt=\"As Europe's forests were felled to grow crops, pigs took up residence in towns, as in this 1559 sketch "Fair at Hoboken" by Breugel the Elder.

The approved animals \"chew the cud,\" which is another way of saying they are ruminants that eat grass. Pigs \"cheweth not the cud\" because they possess simple guts, unable to digest cellulose. They eat calorie-dense foods, not only nuts and grains but also less salubrious items such as carrion, human corpses and feces. Pigs were unclean because they ate filth.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Jews were not alone in this prejudice. In the great civilizations of Mesopotamia and Egypt, priests and rulers avoided pork at all costs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Just across the Mediterranean, however, the Romans loved swine with a passion matched by few people before or since. Romans sacrificed pigs to their gods and created an elaborate pork-based cuisine, including some dishes—such as roast udder of lactating sow—that could make even a gentile shudder.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>What accounts for these differing views? In the Near East, an arid land, most pigs lived as urban scavengers. The Italian Peninsula, by contrast, boasted vast oak forests, and Rome imported wheat by the shipload. Rather than eating garbage in the streets, Roman pigs spent their days dining on acorns and grain.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The reputation of pork depends upon the life of the pig. In early medieval Europe, when most pigs foraged in the woods, pork was the preferred meat of the nobility. By 1300 most forests had been felled, and pigs became scavengers. In a medieval British text, a woman explains that she won't serve pork because pigs \"eat human shit in the streets.\" Pigs also dined on human flesh, which was available because executed prisoners, among others, were left unburied. In Shakespeare's \u003cem>Richard III\u003c/em>, the title character is described as a \"foul swine\" who \"Swills your warm blood like wash, and makes his trough / In your embowell'd bosoms.\" An Irish religious text noted, \"Cows feed only on grass and the leaves of trees, but swine eat things clean and unclean.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Pigs today eat a wholesome diet of corn and soybeans, but people have new reasons to avoid pork.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The most intelligent of farm animals, swine raised in the confined feeding operations that now dominate the industry endure the most inhumane conditions.
