Eating high... Low on the hog

Here in the south we have a saying; "eatin' high on the hog", it means your doing pretty good, that life is good, it's similar to saying "walking in high cotton" since in a good year the cotton would grow real high, and subsequently on a bad year the cotton would be short and stunted. Anyway back to the hog, eating high on the hog means that you are eating meat from the top of the hog, meaning tenderloin or pork chops, this is the best part of the hog, and the most expensive cuts. So to eat "high" on the hog means your eating the best part.
    Most of you know we raised 2 pigs over the winter. We took those pigs to the butcher, and we just  received our meat this past week. This morning we had a pork fest, we had bacon, sausage, sausage gravy with biscuits, and our fresh eggs. Michelle (the boss) looked at me and said "we are eatin' high on the hog this morning" I thought about it and said "no, we are eating high... Low on the hog"  but as far as I'm concerned bacon might be low on the hog, but its tops in my book.
