026 Pigs - The Terrifying Swine of the 17th Century
from The History of American Food · host Margaret Hardin
Piggies piggies piggies. It's all bacon, salt and smoked hams in the 17th century. The images of Babe and Wilbur from Charlotte's Web are all off the mark. The early colonial pig was lean, mean, long legged and would bite you if it could. Some apparently even beat up on wolves. Come visit the colonial pig pen.Music Credit: Fingerlympics by Doctor TurtleShow Notes: https://thehistoryofamericanfood.blogspot.com/Email: [email protected] Twitter: @THOAFoodMusic Credit: Fingerlympics by Doctor TurtleShow Notes: https://thehistoryofamericanfood.blogspot.com/Email: TheHistoryofAmericanFood at gmail dot comThreads: @THoAFoodInstagram: @THoAFood& some other socials... @THoAFood
