There’s an animal you probably don’t know… but you’re about to find out why you should. It’s called the Mangalitsa and it hails from Hungary circa 1830. It’s healthy, it puts on a lot of weight, and supposedly it tastes fantastic.
Oh… and it looks a lot like a sheep.
The Mangalitsa is the only remaining pig in the world with a hairy sheep-like fleece. If you’ve ever watched Iron Chef, in 2012, an entire Mangalitsa pig was actually the secret ingredient in one of the episodes.
I’m not a vegetarian, but I draw the line at eating huggable, fluffy pigs. Share this rare breed with others below.
