Country Ham

“Babe’s Country Cookbook” by Dewey Gram (GT Publishing, $19.95), published to coincide with the release of the movie “Babe in the City,” claims to offer recipes from the Hoggett family’s British country kitchen. It also claims to be all-vegetarian. Which raises the unsettling question of why the Hoggetts kept all those ducks, sheep, cows and--yes--pigs around in the first place.
