The pig is one of the oldest domesticated animals, dating back to at least 5000 BC, and pork is the name given to the meat from this animal. The pig is believed to have been domesticated from the wild boar in either the Near East or China. Wild boar, a wild version of the domesticated animal, can still be found.
Pork itself is one of the most popular and widely consumed meats in the world; however, there are a significant number of people who are prohibited from consuming it for religious reasons.
There are various different meats that are commonly consumed, such as loin, ham, gammon and bacon, as well as pork chops and loins. Pork is often preserved, and ham, gammon and bacon are all examples of preserved pork. Additionally, pork is also used as a base meat in other products, most notably sausages.
