Styggt!
Making pig-shaped food reminds me of old East-Asian (Taiwanese, perhaps?) traditions of burying little humanoid dolls at funerals, recalling the time of human sacrifices. (More close to us, the Danes still burn a witch doll on Midsummer's Eve.) If the pigs according to the Melanesians were created as substitutes for human flesh, then it's a nice gesture to substitute the pigs with pig-shaped vegetarian food. We already eat little man-shaped cakes sometimes for Christmas...
