Perhaps we should instead focus on the underlying inyan of whether there will still be cholont AFTER moishiach comes AND if so, will it be mutar to have a special cholont with chazerfleish??

Chazal ruminating on the prohibitions against pork in the pasuk from Vayikrah (11:7) raise the question of: למה נקרא שמו חזיר שעתיד (loosely translated as “Why is a pig called chazir?”) The answer offered by some great talmedi chachamim was לחזור להיות מותר (i.e. because it is destined to be returned [“lachazor”] to permitted/kosher status after zman moishiach.”

While I’m sure that some of our great melamdim here in the CR will dismiss this prediction as fanciful hyperbole by the sushi set longing for a taste of the forbidden, others with culinary roots in the Alte Heim have directly tied this inyan to the kinds of special foods to which yidden will gain access after moishiach’s arrival. The more traditionalists observe that this will only happen because at that pigs will evolve into ruminant animals, like cows and sheep, which will remove the impediment for their hashgacha (although the whole concept of chazerfleish with a chasideshe hashgacha is a bit intellectually jarring). For others, it really means that by then, scientists will have produced a quality version of Beyond Pork in the labs which will become the go-to alternative for Cholent, Chulent etc
Anyway, B’Taavon!!
