'''"Gaz, Taster of Pork"''' is a double-length [[episode]] of ''[[Invader Zim]]'', originally produced as Episode 26 and based off of a "MEANWHILE" featured in the back of "SQUEE'S Wonderful Big Giant Book of Unspeakable Horrors,"<ref>Vasquez, Jhonen: "Squee's Wonderful Big Giant Book of Unspeakable Horrors", page 118, panel 6. Slave Labor Graphics, ISBN 0943151244</ref> another work of Vasquez. While not airing on [[Nickelodeon (TV channel)|Nickelodeon]] in the US, it aired on the Nicktoons Network in the US on [[August 12]], [[2006]], and on [[YTV (TV channel)|YTV]] in [[Canada]] on [[March 2]] [[2007]]. This is the seventh double-length episode of Invader Zim. [[Jeffrey Jones]] voices a deranged [[hobo]] and the Shadowhog.

==Plot==
[[Dib (Invader Zim)|Dib]] has acquired the worlds largest collection of "spell-drives", an anthology of various spells in a kind of digital book, which fell off the back of a truck. Dib thinks that it is no longer usable, but learns that one of the spell drives still has two spell points left. Dib finds the spell of the "Shadowhog" and since he doesn't know what it does and it only takes one spell point to use, he decides to test it out on someone else first. He decides to test it on [[Gaz (Invader Zim)|Gaz]], who is sleeping in the next room.

The next morning, Gaz doesn't seem to be any different, but it turns out that the spell did work. Gaz discovers that she tastes nothing but [[pork]] in everything she eats, even dairy products (although she finds that actual pork tastes the same). Dib desperately works to save her from her fate, even calling on [[Zim (Invader Zim)|Zim]] (though it doesn't work out). Gaz becomes a media sensation, and a movie is even made about her (which [[GIR (Invader Zim)|GIR]] and Pig go see).

Finally, Dib transports himself and Gaz to the Shadowhog's dimension with a new spell. The Shadowhog turns out to be a tall, large magical being with a pig head. He declares that to reverse the spell (which is a wonderful spell in their dimension), Gaz must face him down in a challenge. Dib is forced to wait outside, convinced that Gaz won't be able to win.

As it turns out, the questions are very easy (as Gaz is a video game addict) and they mostly play chess for awhile, as Gaz explains her knowledge of Zim's identity (she knows, but realizes that he is too utterly stupid to conquer the [[Earth]]).
