Pork is the culinary name for meat, from the domestic pig (Sus scrofa), often specifically the fresh meat but can be used as an all-inclusive term. It is one of the most commonly consumed meats worldwide, with evidence of pig cultivation dating back to 5000 BC.Pork is eaten in various forms, including cooked (as roast pork), cured or smoked (ham, including the Italian Prosciutto) or a combination of these methods (gammon, bacon or Pancetta). It is also a common ingredient of sausages. As with beef in Hinduism, pork consumption is taboo in Islam, Judaism and some types of Christianity.
