Why on cookery programs they often use a very rare breed of pig as meat. Why do they use it if it is rare.
Answers: By using rare breed meat, you are encouraging farmers to keep breeds alive, not endangering them!
Popular breeds of meat - pork in particular - are developed to be lean and to grow to adulthood quickly. This results in bland, tasteless meat.
Rare breeds of pork - such as Gloucester Old Spot for example - have more fat and more flavour. They are more expensive, as they are more expensive to rear. But they're so much better to eat! Source(s):

Do they mean rare as in uncooked? better flavor / the elegance factor ? although i think a regular ole pig, cooked right tastes plenty good. that is a very good question. Maybe its so the TV programme looks like it has got money but have you thought this : are they really using the ingredients that they tell us to use? if you think about it, they ar cooking supposedly expensive meals and hardly anyone is going to eat them so there is no point in using expensive produce.
