Picky picky piglets
No pigs are alike. These pigs have distinguished themselves by being extraordinary rooters -powerful and efficient, although they're still just little (uhoh when they grow)- and being picky eaters.They'll eat apples. They'll eat peaches. But a vegetable?Eggplant. No way.Green pepper. Mmm, nope.Mustard greens. Nope.Cucumber. They gummed it. I broke it in half, the better to learn what was inside. They tasted the inside, made expressive Ew faces, and nosed them out of the bowl. Come on! A cucumber?! I get it, with the eggplant, ok, I don't like them unless they're grilled either, but a juicy green pepper? A delicious cucumber? My hens can't eat all the cukes I have.These pigs are here in prime harvest time to be plied with as much as they can eat in windfall apples and surplus veggies. All vegetables pigs past have quite enjoyed, mind you. And these two turn out to be picky eaters?I look at them. You're pigs. How can you be picky? That's against your definition. They look down their snouts. We'll have the peaches, s'il vous plait.I'm baking eggplant in the sun oven. See if they'll eat them cooked, even if I have to drizzle with olive oil. If they approve, I'm cooking two every sunny day until the eggplant glut is over.
