Is it worth describing ham as meat processed from 'hogs'? We never use 'hog' in UK English so I think it could be confusing.

:"Hog" seems to be the general U.S. technical term for "pig" in articles about such things as making ham. I didn't know it wasn't used in the U.K. Everyone understands "pig", so do whatever you think is necessary. [[User:Hayford Peirce|Hayford Peirce]] 22:32, 26 September 2007 (CDT) | |||
