Pig Roast

Yesterday I attended my friend's annual pig roast. Good food and friendship was the order of the day (as usual) and the piggy turned out GREAT!

Lenny and his 2 brothers are quite whimsical when it comes to their annual event and as part of their wonderfully warped sense of humor they name each year's main course.

Last year we partook in the flavors of "Batman" who was so named due to the skin of his face separating from the rest of the body and it shrunk into a black mask during cooking. This year we enjoyed the delicious pleasure of "Bacon" the pig.

The whimsy doesn't end here, Lenny, Keith and Scott are truly warped individuals and decided to dress "Bacon" for his ultimate fate.

vvvv Check it out. vvvv





Oh wait......isn't something "different" here?

Why yes! Look!



Can't have a pig buns up without adding an attractive bit of sphincter decoration!


And, well...........they just couldn't have "Bacon" going to his ultimate fate blindly, sooooooo......





Simply amazing what one can do with a couple of small apples and 8d nails!

I don't do pig roasts. I did one once and found it gross. The meat was disgusting and tasted like propane. It also bothers me to see the animals face while cooking.

Yes I eat meat but I don't like to see the faces of the animals while they're cooking and on my plate.

This one was done over charcoal and moistened apple wood. As for the face thing......some can and some can't, I know it's not everybody's thing.

Many years ago I made a pig roaster, when I did the first roast I did it like that one. The next one I did I installed a rotiserie that turned the pig slowly. It came out great. I would only use charcoal and wood chips for smoke. The most expensive part was the stainless steel rod that went through the pig and I learned that stuffing the pig with apples and pinapples and some real maple syrup then sewing him back up and tying him with roasting string kept it snug and cooked faster than laying it on the coals. I cooked for many biker parties and a few graduation parties it is a ton of work though.
Looks like a GREAT party!

The apple made me smile, but the chef in the house took one look and said 'That is over cooked', but like that it would be hard to do anything else. He hates doing pig roasts and barbeques for public events. He gets hotter than in a kitchen and smelly with the smoke off the wood.

I'm used to them spinning on a spit, no head or trotters and the apple sauce sadly is always disappointing (except at bike night 'cos that is real apple pureed, not tinned!)

It's been a long time since I've had an actual roasted pig. The last one was a wild boar that I shot and cooked.

All those animals you eat have a face at one time or the other. I have a whole big speel about how you should not be allowed to eat meat if you can't meet them face to face and pull the trigger on them, butcher and eat them. Something about respect and being thankful to that animal for giving it's self unwilling to you for your food. I'll tell you about it sometime.

I'd eat the hell out of some of that pig. Speaking of faces, you ever see that guy on the travel channel that eats all that goofy shit? Anyway, according to him the cheeks are always the tastiest part of the animals.

Beer, Capt and Coke, 7 and 7 plus all kinds of soft drinks and juices.

There was corn on the cob, chili, BBQ beans, fruit salad, potato and macaroni salad, melon balls, dogs and burgers and a slew of cole slaw. There were other various dishes and a pretty good selection of munchies on top of it all.

These guys put on a really good feed.

Save it. I know it by heart. If I have to live up to that speech and kill my own food, I can happily live on nuts, berries, fruit and veggies.
I had a farm. We had plenty of animals that went to our table for food. Cows, pigs, chickens. That does not mean I have to look at it's mangled face while it's cooking or on my plate thankyouverymuch.

I'm not anti-pig roast. I can go to the "event" and not get all goopy over it. I don't lecture anyone about it. I don't gag and wretch over it. I just won't eat the thing is all.
