  1.  @AjitKomurlekar  : It does not have to be a "Christian" culture or thing... Even the Chinese... (like my mom raised pig's too).... and we also ate fishes as well.... This is why, if you raise the animal well, then what you eat is also well too. Pigs in the UK, especially domesticated, and farmed animals, their welfare standard is EXTREMELY high.... Really really high, and they are not wild animals either. Some people in China though, just assume that, if you use high heat to kill bacterias, then all is well... I presume. This is whereby... you need a super strong cooking method in order to make something. My mom never really roasted things. Pork is always cooked in soups... And often also marinaded with salt (to kill further bacterias, then drained away from the salt).... When cooking, she used to boil for ages, til the meat breaks down. And the nutrient goes into the stock etc. When I was a child, we had those big mega big wok.... The kind that, I think it had around a whopping 4-5 kilo wattage... Which definitely breaks down an animal. She also used to double-steam things as well... A porcelain pot inside a cooking pot. So this style of cooking, kind of mellows out the flavours, whatever you decide to cook in it. The Romans did not used to be scared of pig's either. They used to roast the entire thing on a rotary.... lol. Especially the wild pork. It is odd that... things have changed so... over the last 40 odd years. I never knew that people didn't know... like, things.
