I seriously doubt this.  If she was breeding the pigs, then she most likely had plenty of little
piglets running around during the mating season.  I find it very difficult to believe that, with a
litter of piglets running the yard, she would have traded them all for salt and flour without
taking at least a few for the dinner table.  I'm pretty convinced that these medieval types were
just a wee bit smarter than we give them credit for.
