Pork

Pork is the name for meat from the domestic pig (Sus domesticus). Evidence of pig husbandry on Earth dates back to 5000 BCE.

Consumption
Pork is eaten both freshly cooked and preserved. Curing extends the shelf life of the pork products. Ham, smoked pork, bacon and sausage are examples of preserved pork. Charcuterie is the branch of cooking devoted to prepared meat products, many from pork.

Pork is the most popular meat in East and Southeast Asia, and is also very common in the Western world. Pork is highly prized in Asian cuisines for its fat content and pleasant texture. The religions of Judaism and Islam, as well as several Christian denominations, forbid pork consumption; sale of pork was either illegal or highly restricted in these regions.
