"Tonight's Linguo-Cultural Realization"
 
   Logically speaking, the (delicious, tender, easily barbecued) meat of the common Dìqiú pigchicken would be called porken.

However, one cannot reasonably expect any Standard-speaker to say or even hear, e.g., the phrase "porken buns" with a straight face.
