Pork, the culinary name for meat from a domestic pig (Sus scrofa domesticus), has been consumed by humans for thousands of years. It is one of the most commonly consumed meats worldwide, with evidence of pig husbandry dating back to 5000 BC. This article provides a list of some of the most popular and globally recognized pork dishes.

Pork Dishes by Region

Asia

Char siu - A popular way to flavor and prepare barbecued pork in Cantonese cuisine. It is classified as a type of siu mei, Cantonese roasted meat.

Lechon - A pork dish in several regions of the world, most specifically Spain and its former colonial possessions throughout the world. Lechón is a Spanish word referring to a roasted baby pig which was still fed by its mother's milk (a suckling pig).

Tonkatsu - A Japanese dish which consists of a breaded, deep-fried/tempura pork cutlet. It involves cutting the pig's back center into 2-3 centimeter thick slices, coating with panko (bread crumbs), frying them in oil, and then serving with tonkatsu sauce, rice, and vegetable salad.

Europe

Wiener Schnitzel - A traditional Austrian dish made with boneless meat thinned with a mallet (escalope-style preparation), coated in bread crumbs and fried. It is one of the best known specialities of Viennese cuisine.

Pork pie - A traditional British meat pie. It consists of roughly chopped pork and pork jelly sealed in a hot water crust pastry. It is normally eaten cold as a snack or as part of a meal.

Cotechino Modena - An Italian charcuterie product, similar to salami, but requiring cooking; usually it is boiled at low heat for about four hours. Its name comes from cotica (rind), but it may take different names in the different production areas.

Americas

Pulled pork - A method of cooking pork where what would otherwise be a tough cut of meat is cooked slowly at low temperatures, allowing the meat to become tender enough so that it can be "pulled", or easily broken into individual pieces.

Chicharron - A dish generally consisting of fried pork belly or fried pork rinds; chicharrón may also be made from chicken, mutton, or beef.

Feijoada - A stew of beans with beef and pork, which is a typical dish in Portugal and former Portuguese colonies, such as Brazil, Angola, Mozambique, and Macau.
