They are growing very slowly and need a lot of open space to develop. That makes them uncompetitive with today's "modern" breads that are mass produced in stalls, so we should not blame the commies for the near-extinction, rather hard economic reasons. <br /><br />However, the most interesting claim is that the fat of these pigs contains very little cholesterol. I did not research this myself, so do your homework. This claim, combined with the truly superior taste of the meet and bacon contribute to the new popularity of mangalica.ZShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04239551410313678847noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2800744396416121862.post-32570982044424742752010-02-08T19:39:16.677-08:002010-02-08T19:39:16.677-08:00I LOVE pigs!
