后来成为美国的这片土地上最早的猪,由Hernando de Soto的探险队(1539–42)从古巴带到了东南部。后来又从不列颠群岛有了引进,最著名的是1607年在John Smith建立的定居点Jamestown。几年后,它们繁殖到了数百头。在佛吉尼亚以至北美东部的其他地方,猪作为林地饲养非常合适。阿巴拉契亚山脉富余的橡子和栗子用来养猪,即使算上喂食和看管的成本仍然回报丰厚。深秋时节,半野放的猪被聚拢和屠宰,肥厚的猪肉腌起来,与玉米一起构成早期美洲的主要菜单。十九世纪早期,这种阿巴拉契亚猪商品化了。当时是全国乃至全世界肥皂生产中心的俄亥俄州辛辛那提(常被开玩笑地称为猪肉市"Porkopolis")应把她的诞生归功于那些被驳船装来屠宰的猪;猪肉在那里被腌制,而脂肪被制成肥皂。
Field wrote for newspapers in Kansas City and Denver before settling down in Chicago and writing a humorous column called “Sharps and Flats” for the Chicago Daily News, a position he would hold for the rest of his life. “Sharps and Flats” ran in the morning edition and featured Field’s cutting quips and observations about Chicago, which he called “Porkopolis,” because of its rampant materialism. He enjoyed comparing Chicago to Boston, once writing, “While Chicago is humping herself in the interests of literature, arts, and the sciences, vain old Boston is frivoling away her precious time in an attempted renaissance of the cod fisheries.”
2019猪年快过去了。许多坛友们都提到了猪。
有几个问题问一下知识渊博的笑坛坛友:
1 (美国的)猪都在哪里?
2 Porkopolis是什么意思?
(稍稍打住一下:让子弹飞一会儿
)

当时的辛辛那提被称为“Porkopolis” ,这不是一个迷人的词。 那时周边的农民都会把牲畜赶到辛辛那提,进行肉类加工, 剩下的脂肪和油脂恰巧是生产蜡烛和肥皂所需的原料。因此这是个非常适合做蜡烛和肥皂生意的地方。

17世纪末,拓荒者带着他们的畜群向西迁徙,将畜群带向更广阔的土地。随着牲畜数量的增加,猪肉屠宰、加工、包装的设施建设大规模地开展。在辛辛那提进行了首次以商业为目的的生猪屠宰,历史上称为“Porkopolis”。19世纪中叶,辛辛那提成为生猪行业中心。每年从俄亥俄州运往东部市场的生猪有4-7万头。

楼伯和库恩在南北战争时通过卖北军制服发了一笔财,在贝蒂的督促下,他们决定来到纽约,开始在纽约开店卖男士长裤,很快进入了投资银行业。贝蒂看不起辛辛那提的乡巴佬生活,把辛辛那提叫做“猪肉波利斯” (Porkopolis)。在纽约贝蒂邀请音乐家到家里做客,读左拉的小说,帮助美国民运领袖莉莲瓦尔德 (Lilian Wald) 建立第一个儿童保护局。
