Mary Roach Quote

Sleeter Bull,* the author of the 1951 book Meat for the Table, claims the ancient Greeks had a taste for udders. Very specifically, the udders of a sow just after she had farrowed but before she had suckled her pigs. That is either the cruelest culinary practice in history or so much Sleeter bull.
