So what did they feed the piggies on to get them like that?
Got a feeling this thread is going off at a porcine tangent :-)

When were (sweet) apples introduced to Britain? Quite late wasn't it. Must've been other sweet, half-rotting stuff lying around from harvest time though. Maybe the porkies were give mead to drink - that's not as daft as it sounds. The renowned Kobe cattle are given beer to drink, and have their muscles massaged to enhance the flavour of the meat.

Somewhere in my many identical postings I suggested sheeps milk and yoghurt and cheese.

Honey though?! You'd have to be seriously wierd to go to the trouble of collecting that and then giving it to pigs.

It's funny isn't it, since the Avebury Pigpen theory was launched (on this very organ) the archaeologists have talked of little else but pigs. I guess they don't like to admit they get a lot of their best ideas from reading TMA but they obviously do. Look how "Silbury Time Capsule - good" turned into "Silbury Time Capsule - not good" But where's the acknowledgement, eh?
