I would eat raw pork only if starvation was the only option! I've been taught that raw pork can give you different kind of unpleasant or/and life threatening diseases. And I can't see why one should, either.

Paleo - containers probably woven of grass and/or reeds. Wicker baskets
too. Birchbark can be made into containers, and made water tight with gum
from evergreens. Those are only the ones I know about.

I've been eating varying percentage of raw for a few years. Taste depends
on the state of health, such that when I'm not feeling well raw hamburger
is delicious, and the thought of cooked anything is repulsive.
Haven't yet had any experience with raw pork. Anyone?
