Pigs are unclean to both the Jewish religion and to those you practice

Yes, plus some were wrapped in skin or caul fat or even stomach.

Why would it be? The intestines used were the intestines of whatever animal 
was used.

Was there a definition of vegetarian in period? That is, were there people 
who lived in period that kept a vegetarian diet for moral reasons? More 
specifically would those people had they existed have been attending the kind 
of feasts we have records and recipes for? I think that the definition you 
are using is a relatively modern concept.
