Oh, cool! I remember a TV programme where a chef was talking about the Hungarian Mangalica pigs, and what beautifully flavoured meat they had, and those pigs were very hairy

ADORABLE! 💚🐽🐗
If they are small and pot-belly adorned, they could be what we call wool piggies, they have a lot of hair….
But I wonder: How can we eat (and enjoy) something so cute and adorable like these?
Happy Monday!

That’s easy, Kiki. I don’t! They are quite small, but not, as far as I remember, pot bellied. At least no more than most pigs …

Oh, right. The place where these live is unlikely to have foodie owners, but who knows?

But pig farms always smell so bad, I am glad we only have cattle and sheep here, that’s bad enough on occasions.

They look so expectantly up! I like the dark one on the right, he looks a real character – actually, they all do.

I was looking up rare pig breeds that originate in the UK. There are several types. I recall seeing a pig with long hair, similar to these handsome faces, at Mary Arden’s Farm.
