RE: mule footed hog
I feel for the Jews, and the Muslims too, because pig tastes good.
Feel not for the Israelis: Pig is available in Israel as "white meat." One of the best ham sandwiches i ever had was in Tel Aviv.

RE: mule footed hog
I had some Muslims over once for a bar-b-que. They asked if pork had ever been cooked in my grill, because they wouldn't be able to eat off a grill that ever had pork cooked on it.. I said no!!!
That will teach them to trust the infidel.

RE: mule footed hog
My buddy and I trapped a mule footed hog in south Georgia about 10 years ago, but only the back feet were like that. The front were the standard cloven hoof.
The muslims I met in Iraq would eat pork if it was given to them for free in the chow hall, but no other time. I can't blame them, if I only made $11 a day, I wouldn't be picky about food either. Some of them also ate camel spiders... I hear they taste like crab, but I never tried it.

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.

I'm half way serious with this question, perhaps one of our Jewish brothers can answer it. What would be the ramifications of a hog that does not have a cloven hoof, as far as kosher eating goes?
I feel for the Jews, and the Muslims too, because pig tastes good.

ORIGINAL: Rabbi Daniel
In the Bible, G-d refers to those land based animals which BOTH have a cloven hoof AND chew cud as being "clean" (and therefore acceptable for consumption). A pig has a cloven hoof but does not chew cud, and is one of the animals specifically listed as non-consumable. Where you may find a list of animals, birds and fish which are forbidden as well as those permitted is in Deuteronomy 14:2-20. Interestingly, although G-d gives these commands to Israel, He speaks through the prophet Isaiah that He will judge the nations of the world (in the end of days) for their consumption of swine's flesh and their involvement in activities which he calls, "an abomination". Isaiah 66:17.

The Bible (Leviticus 11 and Deuteronomy 14) says that Israelites (today's Jews) may eat mammals that have both cloven hoof and chews cud. The reason the pig may not be eaten is because it only has cloven hoof, but does not chew cud (making it unique among animals with cloven hoofs). Therefore a pig without a cloven hoof would have a "double whammy" so it would certainly be not-kosher. Animals with uncloven hooves (like horses and llamas) are also not kosher, whereas those with cloven hooves and who chew cud (like cows, sheep, goats, deer, antelope, giraffes, and okapis) are kosher.
