pigs meat?

[vakayu]

trepan anagram
pigs meat as in Tom Tom the piper's son.

[grasscarp]

Tom Tom the pipers son, stole a pig and away he ran.
The pig was eaten, Tom was beaten and Tom went howling down the street.

[sandyRoe]

I was thinking of Tom, the pipers son, who stole the pig and away he run. But if he had stole a pig he'd hardly just eat the feet.
Oldred's suggestion is better

[sandyRoe]

Then again, maybe not. ;-)

[factor-fiction]

I prefer the Tom, Tom, the Piper's Son interpretation- Pig's Feet seems slightly better than Pig's Meat

[grasscarp]

What Tom ate (his fare) was surely pig's meat. Why feet? and why has frugalfred got best answer?

[factor-fiction]

... although we don't know whether he ate the feet- was he more of a leg man or a rib eater?

[factor-fiction]

pig's feet is better in that pig's feet is probably too specific, but i thought we said 'pig meat' rather than 'pig's meat'.

[sandyRoe]

'Pig's meat' would be what the porker dined on, surely?
