Actually, in a really evil way, I totally dig this. For the past few years I existed as a vegetarian and for whatever reason, I fell of the fell off the fruit wagon. I have since rediscovered the fragging deliciousness of bacon. I can’t imagine it wouldn’t be pleasing to bite into a strip of pork and detect flavors of Jameson or Johnny Walker.
The Templeton Rye Distillery conceived this project. They’re feeding a bunch of Duroc pigs a diet of distillery grains. And when it’s time to slaughter the oinkers, the little piggies might taste like the beginnings of an Old Fashioned (my favorite drink – not that anyone cares).
To the starving people on the planet, I apologize that we have so much meat that we can turn our livestock into walking food-cocktails. This story will surely make you want to kill us.
BTW, I saw this in UPI’s Odd News.
