The same reason we eat tilapia, beef, and chicken from farms.
Because they don't have a whole lot of gamey flavors. That, and lamb is seen as an upper class food in the US when it comes to home preparation.
- zht 3y agoyea but I wonder if folks would still care about "gameyness" if they ate it from birth one thing that you often notice moving from abroad is that the pork in North America (raw) smells and tastes like piss. but if you're used to it you just don't question it
- crazygringo 3y agoI don't know where you're getting your pork from but no it doesn't...?
- DennisP 3y agoI haven't noticed that but it's been quite a while since I cooked unprocessed raw pork. I wonder if the intense ammonia smell that builds up in pig factories had anything to do with the smell you experienced.
- crazygringo 3y agoExactly, the same reason we don't eat goat either. Goat BBQ is absolutely delicious. But it is a strong flavor that lingers for a long time. It's just not palatable for the average American consumer to eat on a regular basis. On the one hand I absolutely wish we had a wider variety of meats available. But on the other hand I totally understand why there isn't enough demand for it to be economically viable.
- tptacek 3y agoGoat is pretty easy to find in Chicago, at birrierias and in the really good butcher shops. It braises well.
