Pork is the cooking name of Sus scrofa domesticus. It is the most commonly eaten meat in the world, and there is evidence that the pig industry dates back to 5000 BC.

Pork can be cooked fresh or pickled. Curing can prolong the shelf life of pork products. Ham, bacon, bacon and sausage are pork jerky. Deli is a branch of cooking that specializes in cooking meat products, many of which are made of pork.

Pigs are the most popular meat in eastern and non muslim Southeast Asia (Indochina, Philippines, Singapore, East Timor). They are also common in the western world, especially in Central Europe.

Members of the guild produce traditional cooked, salted and dried meat, which sometimes varies by region. The only "raw" meat allowed to be sold by reapers is unpainted lard.

Before the mass production and redesign of pigs in the 20th century, pork in Europe and North America was traditionally the autumn dish - pigs and other livestock were slaughtered in autumn after growing in spring and fattening in summer. Due to the seasonal characteristics of meat in Western cooking history, apples (harvested in late summer and Autumn) have become the main match for fresh pork. The year-round availability of meat and fruit did not reduce the popularity of this combination on Western plates.

Pork is popular throughout East Asia and the Pacific, and whole roasted pigs are popular in Pacific island cuisine. There are many ways of consumption, which are highly praised in Chinese cuisine. At present, China is the largest pork consumer in the world. It is estimated that the total pork consumption will reach 53 million tons by 2012, accounting for more than half of the global pork consumption. In China, pork is more popular than beef for economic and aesthetic reasons. Pigs are easy to feed, not artificial.
