ABSTRACT
FURTHERMORE, the author Varro, quoted above, declares that it is lazy and improvident for the master of a house to hang up on meathooks a side of pork which has been bought from a butcher rather than one from his own farm. Several countries have favoured pork according to this couplet of Juvenal in Satire VI:
Where kings observe the sabbath feasts barefoot, and mild tradition spares the aging swine.
