SPECIAL PIGS



NO!  Not the pigs, too!  They’ve messed with chickens until their breasts drag the ground (and I’m not talking about little old ladies).  They’ve messed with tomatoes until nobody in this century knows what a tomato really tastes like.  But no!  The hallowed Eastern NC style barbeque is in danger.  No!  It just can’t happen!

Some innovative (and I’m sure very nice) guys in LaGrange have “built” a special pig  to deliver to Japan.  (News and Observer 12/14 front page)  Whew!  Thank goodness they’re shipping that pig wannabe out of the country.

I might be a redneck, but the photo in the N&O of someone eating barbeque with chopsticks is just wrong.  Wait a minute.  It’s sliced pork, not barbeque.

There is an upside to this story.  These guys are more humane to the pigs than the industry used to be.  I Just hope they don’t let those pigs out to breed with the locals.  Let’s keep the good old homegrown pigs rolling in the mud and inbreeding, please.
