A guy posted cripplecreek's photo on his Facebook page in 2012. The photo was taken in a restaurant in Taiwan, and the pork rectums were to be used for Chinese dumplings.

It caused an immediate, but short-lived, frenzy in the media about inverted boneless pork rectums in the U.S. and the exportation of inverted boneless pork rectums (which are more expensive and labor-intensive, and are chopped) and non-inverted boneless pork rectums (the poor man's pork rectums, which are ground).

Turns out they are used here for the same thing, dumplings - and for hot dogs.

Google 'boneless pork rectums' the next time you want to start your diet.

I don't know why I know these things. It's a curse. Tim McCarver was the last catcher to lead the National League in triples. Stop me before I spew additional useless factoids.
