Tasty cured meat from curly-haired "sheep pigs" goes for $83/pound in Brooklyn. The marbled, maroon-colored speciality ham produced by the porkers--an ancient Hungarian breed of hogs called Mangalica, Mangaliza or Mangalitsa--has been described as "darn tasty" and "delicious" by foodie fans.

Increasing demand for meat from sheep pigs is seen as one way to protect the breed, which developed thick, curly hair to withstand brutal Hungarian winters centuries ago.

"We believe we have to protect these old breeds," said Lily Hodge, a spokeswoman for D'Artagnan, a company that sells cured ham from the hogs, in a New York Daily News article.
