Little Mettschweine for New Year's Eve

ADVERTISEMENT

Pigs have been considered lucky charms since the Middle Ages. Pigs are never hungry. Pigs can be fed with leftovers and are easy to care for. They also give birth to several piglets a year. If you have a pig, you'll always have meat. This was once considered a sign of prosperity.

Times have changed: a meat-free lifestyle is becoming more and more of a trend, rooted in sustainability and environmental awareness. But that doesn't mean you have to forgo Mett pork. For a vegetarian option, I recommend the well-known vegan Mühlen-Heck or other ground meat alternatives.
