We occasionally give our pigs our slops. Ensuring that it doesn't go through the kitchen of course! They really enjoy it, and have a great nights sleep off it. But our pigs are just pets not for eating, when I asked a few people seemed to be concerned about the effect on the meat and liver.

They really like the real ales especially if there is a lot of Tim Taylor Landlord!!!
