Pork is the real hero of the feast. Like a passionate youth it puts on different disguises on different occasions. But even clothed in the most elaborate attire, its originality and genius is always revealed — whether we search it out under the drapes of a blood sausage, or in the sailor’s jacket of liverwurst, under the rough mantle of country sausage, or in the mantilla of a frankfurter. – Nikita Vselolzhsky
