Portuguese term or phrase: Tábua de enchidos de *porco preto*
My question is regarding the "porco preto".
Should it be "black pork" or "black pig"?
I find a similar number of references for both but I'm still not sure...

disagree  Oliver Simões: A "cured" equivalent is not in the original. That's a stretch of the imagination.

disagree  Richard Purdom: Those references are very poorly written, so don't qualify! Pork is only black if you burn it, well that's what I've heard as a vegetarian...
