    Haven't listened to this podcast yet, but keep hearing adverts for it.  Doesn't the book actual say she tosses a "pig's pizzle" at Jude?  I'm frankly a little reluctant to listen, as I really enjoyed this book (as well as the early 2000s film with Kate Winslet and Christopher Eccleston).  Are they respectful to the material, or is it just one big cut-up of the "they talk funny" variety? 

    Respectful to the book, in my opinion. Give it a listen.

    Hi. Enormous nerd here to add some additional insight.

    Arabella didn't just throw pig guts at Jude. She tossed "the characteristic part of a barrow pig." A barrow pig is a castrated male pig, and so the "characteristic part" would, in fact, be the pig's penis.

    That's right: the meet cute between Arabella and Jude was her throwing a pig dick at his ear. She's a subtle one, that Arabella.
