Zhũròu means pork (literally: pig meat) in Chinese. This post is an appreciation post in an ode to my ongoing love affair with all pork dishes. While I have never had the courage to cook pork at home, I have had dishes all round the world and in India as well which have made me go cross-eyed. This meat is not very common in India, however, there are some fabulous places to go to where you can satisfy your pork craving.

In everyday life, I have bacon for breakfast occasionally and ham salami for sandwiches. With mayonnaise and cheese, these make for the ultimate breakfast sandwiches!
