G'day Barb,

According to a gourmand of my aquaintance, the main issue is to get
pig meat from a sow, not from a boar.

Maybe that only applies to special cuts like pig belly, but I suspect
it has wider application. Why else would the local butcher make a
point of telling his mates to buy early in the week when he has the
ladies on the block, not later when he only has chauvinists for sale?

Cheers, Phred.
