The Ginger Pig is a large pig beast with an equally large head whose meat becomes ginger-flavored when its flesh is grilled.
Anatomy
It is a large pig with a prominently big head and snout and small stubby legs. The Ginger Pig's appearance is even ginger-like, making it a very bizarre porker. Not much of its true appearance is known as only its meat and silhouette have been seen.
Behavior
They're surprisingly easy to raise, even in a typical yard.
As Food
The Ginger Pig's meat has the sweet taste and fragrance of ginger and can be grilled into a fine steak which is truly delicious. It can also be prepared with Cream Mushrooms and Chicken Tiger eggs to make a Ginger Pig and Cream Mushroom Egg Chanpuru. They're reasonably priced and something anyone can cook, but trying to prepare one perfectly has brought many chefs to tears.
Anime and Manga Differences
- The Ginger Pig was excluded from the anime adaptation of Chapter 114, Episode 52 and was replaced with the Spicecow. It was however featured much later in Episode 74.
Trivia
- The Ginger Pig was created by penname Animo-san.
- The Ginger Pig's creator also created the Eight-Headed Snail .
