This past weekend was the NextStep picnic. It was Oak’s idea to roast his very first whole pig for the event. So, we rented a giant pig cooker you can tow, acquired a pig from a friend-of-a-friend who can acquire pigs directly from a farmer, and a group of the guys spent the night tending to the piggy while she roasted with wood chips and vinegar basting.
Though I did not personally have much to do with the pig cooking process (I was busy arranging all the side dishes and making piggy cupcakes), it was delicious! People seemed pretty impressed, but some were disappointed that the head of the pig wasn’t there – we just had the two sides of it. I imagine if we did have one with a head, that the number of people freaked out would probably outnumber this number of folks who wanted to gnaw on a pig ear. So what’s your thoughts – with head or without?

You have got to be kidding?? People actually wanted the head attached so that could actually look the piggy in the eyes as they were eating him?? Gross!!

I think they remove the eyes when they remove the rest of the guts. LOL.

Still would hate to see a head! Just my oppinion though…there are those in this world that enjoy a whole fish with its head attached or a whole lobster on their plate when eating and I think thats gross too..hehe
