What is a pork?

Answer 1

Pork is the meat from pigs. In addition to fresh pork, the meat is processed by curing either by salt and sugar or by smoking. Processed pork is know as ham, sausage, or bacon. A portion of the leg know as ham hocks, may also be smoked.

In Southern foodways, pork was a diet staple for several reasons. First, the amount of space needed to raise pigs is much less than the requirement for cows allowing farmers with small plots of land the ability to raise pigs and still have room for growing crops. Secondly, if a farmer fell on hard times and was unable to continue feeding the pigs, they could turn them out and let them forage on their own. Pigs do not roam long distances so the farmer would be able to locate the fattened pig when it was time for butchering.
