If Pigs Had Wings
On pig wings, John T. Edge for the New York Times:
Like butchers, cooks and restaurateurs before him, Mr. File believes in the power of euphemisms to popularize culinary oddballs. Mountain oysters sound more appetizing than calf testicles. Picnic hams sell better than pork shoulder roasts. And would Applebee’s be selling millions of riblets if they were more accurately identified as the transverse processes of lumbar vertebrae left over from the boning of pork loins?
