pork
Pork is the sacred swan song of an innocent mammal defeated by the altar of human appetite. Constantly bathed in fat and flavor, it is offered in the fires of frying pans to pamper humanity’s taste buds. When crisped to perfection, it erases all sense of guilt, yet any simmering reminds diners why they should repent over calories. It holds court at every dinner table, only to vanish in a flash and leave a desert of thirst and regret. Each bite ignites a microcosm of indulgence versus restraint on the tongue.
