[Untitled][edit]

This part does not make much sense: "In the northern hemisphere, most houses would arrange to have their larder and kitchen on the north or east side of the house where it received least sun. "

First of all, in the Northern hemisphere, ignoring shade trees and the like, the East and West sides receive the same amount of light and heat. The East side receives it earlier, which is an advantage as the larder has cooled overnight. Similar in the S. hemisphere. Carrionluggage 04:58, 27 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Clarify tag, Etymology[edit]

I have added {{clarify}} to the Etymology section. It currently reads:

"In the past, and in many peasant societies, the pig has been a vital source of food for the winter: it can be salted and preserved, and traditionally you can eat every part of it except its squeak."

Is this a way of referring to the sound a pig makes, i.e. squealing, or is it a butchery term of some sort referring to a specific part of the pig that cannot be eaten. Generally, I would think that it's referring to a squeal, but I'm confused why it would instead say squeak instead. Spelling error, perhaps? Sawta (talk) 17:26, 23 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

A pig's squeak refers here to the sound it makes. The assertion is often made by brave souls who claim that every single part of a pig is edible.2605:A000:BFC0:21:1432:4CB9:846A:C1B8 (talk) 13:06, 9 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

unreferenced tags, hard to look at[edit]

Any helpful editors know of a good way to combine all of the {{unreferenced section}} tags into one big one? Preferably at the top? Most of the sections are so sparse that I am constantly seeing the unreferenced tag templates, it's a bit of an eye sore. The article is short, maybe the entire article should just be flagged for refimrpove just to be done with it? I changed the tag under Etmolgy to {{refimprove section}}, from unreferenced since there appears to be at least one ref in there.

It's just tedious to look at all of those ref templates. Suggestions? Sawta (talk) 17:49, 23 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
