Roast Pig

[mjarrels]

Yep... doing it again this year, last year he was at 72 pounds, this year, maybe 52 pounds. Philippine history is repeating... I will pull the hay wagon up in the yard, wash and apply sealer and have one big party. About 100 people... Hay wagons make great picnic tables. We might make our way into the Phil/Am world again.

I've always wanted to roast a pig. Do you do yours on a spit or bury in coals?

Large piece of bamboo thru the pig... constant turning and rubbing with coconut milk. Takes about 5 hours and 10 bags of charcol. Best part is the chrispy skin.

I am curious buckeye, after you dressed your pig did you inject it with any seasonings like vinegar and BBQ sauce...that is the way we do it here..about 60% vinegar and 40% BBQ sauce injected before the pig goes on the grill and then again about 1/2 way through. ?

The whole pig, I didn't do. The half pig, I helped a little, mostly by staying out of the way of those who knew what they were doing :laughing: I did help eat both of them.

to my knowledge, nothing was added.

Maybe I'll try one by myself this year for the labor day picnic I host for our church and neighbors. I've had up to 100 people here, but I usually just grill burgers, brats, dogs, chicken, and ribs, and people that come bring sides.
