RE: mule footed hog
Mywife's cousin married an Iranian guy, Mo (Mohammed). Mo's uncle came over for eye surgery at Thanksgiving some years back. He asked his nephew what kind of meat the ham was at the feast(it was all sliced up). Mo answered "Smoked pheasant." Mo's uncle enjoyed the meal.
No one has answered my question though- Since a mule footed hog does not have a cloven hoof, could it be eaten by orthydox Jews or Muslims??
There could be a new market there for Iowa hog.
