I've no idea why people do that. It isn't even a particularly tasty meat in most forms. "Here, eat this bone-dry gammon that tastes of nothing but ammonia to prove you're not a towelhead".
THIS is where anti-pig eaters are wrong.
I used to eat it BECAUSE it tasted so "good". Maybe because it was how my Mom made pork chops, fried with a crispy coating like Kentucky Fried Chicken.
It was only last year my sister asked me about why+when I stopped eating pork/pig.
She was not surprised when I made my decision and our mother STILL kept making it for me against my wishes, around 1990. This was when I was convinced that the Bible truths by Herbert Armstrong's Worldwide Church of God was correct.
(I laugh now though, I got stoned on weed at a friend's home, then almost inhaled the meal taking it in so quick when I got home one day,
It was when I won a court case that day and was so happy to never have to ever eat another day of jail food.
Any kind of fried food always go down well on days like that!
