In case you weren’t aware, March 1st is National Pig Day. Perhaps it’s meant to be a day to reflect on the porcine contributions to mankind; a day to appreciate pork, in all its forms.
I spent it sharing the fact that there actually is a National Pig Day with my fellow Wodehousians, and we all understood what that meant for us: a day to celebrate that supreme sow, the Empress of Blandings!
The Empress, in my opinion, has had a most adventurous life. I’m tempted to compare her lot to that of “Babe” or “Wilbur”, only posher. She’s well cared for, well traveled and well admired (despite having the nickname of Piggy Wiggy).
If reincarnation is real, let the most unfortunate soul on earth now come back as the Empress in their next life!
So, let us all raise a piece of bacon in salute of pigs! 🐖
