The Ramie 100, part 5

95.  Products of the Swine.  Prosciutto, bacon, pancetta, ham, pork chops, loin, barbecue, sausage (bulk or links)...
I think Homer Simpson sums it up most succinctly:
Homer: Are you saying you're never going to eat any animal again? What about bacon?
Lisa: No.
Homer: Ham?
Lisa: No!
Homer: Pork chops?
Lisa: Dad, those all come from the same animal!
Homer: He he he... ooh... yeah... right, Lisa.  A wonderful... magical animal.

I long to try acorn-fattened Spanish ham.  I wonder if a body with a relic pecan orchard (and here I'm thinking about the countless ones I've seen in Georgia) couldn't raise some free-range swine for an American twist on this same process?  Of course, in Georgia the same person might just turn that pecan-laden pork into bbq!  Hmmm, maybe I'm onto something here...
