This is a list of notable pork dishes. Pork is the culinary name for meat from the domestic pig ( Sus domesticus ). It is one of the most commonly consumed meats worldwide, [1] with evidence of pig husbandry dating back to 5000 BC. Pork is eaten both freshly cooked and preserved.
The consumption of pork is prohibited in Judaism, Islam, and some Christian denominations such as Seventh-day Adventism.
In the United States, the U.S. Department of Agriculture recommends cooking ground pork, that is obtained from pig carcasses, to an internal temperature of 160 °F, followed by a 3-minute rest, and cooking whole cuts to a minimum internal temperature of 145 °F, also followed by a 3-minute rest. [2]
