My wife is from China and lived in America for many years. She always claims pork in America has a different taste that she doesn't like too much compared to project in China. I wonder if it's just a nostalgia thing. I'm a vegetarian so I don't eat it so I'm looking for others opinions. Is she crazy? :)

我老婆是中國人，在美國生活已多年。她總是說美國的豬肉跟她在中國吃到的豬肉相比味道很不一樣，她不是很喜歡。我好奇這是不是因?yàn)猷l(xiāng)愁的緣故。我本身是素食主義者，所以我不吃肉沒法評判，因此我想問問看大家對此的意見。她那么想是瘋了不成？:)

It may be the oil she cooks it in.
That being said meat does taste differently according to location. What the animal eats and how it is raised reflects on taste.
KFC China tastes more like chicken than Canadian KFC.
She also just may like complaining. I'm married to a Chinese woman too.

這可能和她用什么油有關(guān)。話雖這么說，但肉類的口感味道確實(shí)會因?yàn)轱曫B(yǎng)產(chǎn)地的不同而不同。動(dòng)物吃了什么以及它是如何被飼養(yǎng)的影響了它的口感。中國肯德基的味道比加拿大肯德基嘗起來更像雞肉。她也可能只是喜歡抱怨。我也娶了一個(gè)中國女人。

Australian married to Chinese here. My wife says the same about Australian pork.
Apparently it's because supermarkets in Australia sell male and female pork meat as the same. Apparently male pork smells, and this is likely the reason your SO says this.

和中國人結(jié)婚的澳大利亞人在此。我妻子也是這么說澳大利亞豬肉的。好像是因?yàn)榘拇罄麃喌某胸i肉不分公母都會售賣。而公豬肉有點(diǎn)臭，這可能就是你老婆這么說的原因。

Which gender is supposed to be tastier?

公豬肉母豬肉哪個(gè)更好吃？

I asked my local butcher, they say the pork was injected before they receive them, so there is no way to undo it. I really do not know why they do the injection, maybe for flavor? Chinese people are sensitive to this difference for some reason.

我問過我當(dāng)?shù)氐耐婪?，他們說豬肉在超市收到之前就被注**，所以沒辦法去掉。我真的不知道為什么要注射鹽液，也許是為了調(diào)味？中國人因?yàn)橐恍┰驅(qū)@種差異很敏感。

The costco people say their "Swift Premium" pork is "natural" and that label means no injection. So maybe you can try other "natural" pork if costco is too far.

好市多的工作人員說他們“Swift Premium”這個(gè)牌子的豬肉是“天然的”，而“天然的”這個(gè)標(biāo)簽意味著豬肉沒被注射過。所以如果好市多離你家太遠(yuǎn)了，你可以試試其他的標(biāo)有“天然的”標(biāo)簽的豬肉。

Yeah that makes sense. I just read an article stating 90% of US pork is injected with this saline solution to plump up the meat, as US animals are very thin. I've always bought the best/organic stuff for her, but time and again she always "tastes" that flavor...except with costco ribs. I think this makes sense...but now the next question was to try and figure where else to buy this company's products...other cuts of meat.

啊，這就講得通了。我剛剛讀到一篇文章，說90%的美國豬肉都被注**這種鹽溶液，以使肉豐滿起來，因?yàn)槊绹膭?dòng)物都很瘦。我一直為她買的是最好的/有機(jī)的產(chǎn)品，但她常“嘗”到那種味道……除了好市多的肋排。我認(rèn)為這是有道理的……但接下來的問題就是還可以去哪里買到這家公司的豬肉……或者其他肉類。

Exactly, that's why all beef in the more expensive restaurants is actually imported from Australia or the USA

確實(shí)是這樣，這就是為什么在比較貴的餐館里，所有的牛肉實(shí)際上都是從澳大利亞或美國進(jìn)口的。

The probably mix their pork with MSG and other artificial flavorings which can manipulate the taste buds on peoples tongues.

有可能是因?yàn)橹袊i肉添加了味精和其他人造調(diào)味品，而這些會影響人的味蕾。

They allow hormones in animal feed in the U.S. Maybe this has something to do with it.

美國允許在動(dòng)物飼料中添加激素，或許這是造成口味差別的原因。


-IntoTheVoid-
They definitely do:

他們確實(shí)添加了激素：

I haven't found any meat in China that I like. It's several things. What they feed the animals, living conditions and how their butcher the meat.

我還沒發(fā)現(xiàn)中國有什么肉類是我喜歡的。動(dòng)物從飼料到生存環(huán)境再到如何屠宰，這都令人不放心。

Pork in China is chocked full of steroids. Google clenbuterol+pork+china. A ton of scandals.

中國的豬肉都使用了，谷歌搜索克侖特羅+豬肉+中國。
