do you know about it? Let’s take a look. Pork is the world-famous culinary name
for the meat of domestic pig. And also, it is the most commonly consumed meat worldwide
(don’t be surprised). This food has a looooooong history. It is dating back to
5000 BC.
Pork can be
eaten both freshly cooked and preserved. Sausage, Ham, Smoked Pork and Bacon
are examples of preserved pork.
Pork is very
