We interrupt your regularly scheduled pork programming for a quick announcement: Congratulations to Porky and Porketta LeSwine for their newest litter (of one)! In a feat of evolution, they’ve given birth to a crochet piglet. OK fine, it’s a (human) girl. Let’s just hope that this new Babe enjoys barbecue more than her older sibling. [...]

I have been saving this classic Canadian ad from the Saskatchewan Pork Council for just the right moment. With Valentine’s Day coming up this weekend, now is that moment… The obvious question is, “Do they have double entendres in Canada?” I’ll let our legions of Canadian readers write in to answer that question.

I recently lived my nightmare. I ate–”consumed” is a more appropriately clinical term given I did it only in the name of research–most of a package of “Certified Vegan” tofucue.
