Yes, we roasted a WHOLE ENTIRE pig for Thanksgiving. Never fear, we also had a deep fried turkey, which was SCRUMPTIOUS! For those of you who know my brother, Trent, you know how hair-brained and crazy he can be. Plus, he comes up with weird, wild ideas that he insists on carrying through with. Well, doing a pig roast for Thanksgiving was one of those very ideas.
mr. piggy still in the box.
fully stuffed.!
mr. piggy wrapped in banana leaves and chicken wire and sealed shut!
lowering the pig into the pit (apparently this is a "sucker rod" that my dad used to weld it together making this device)
on the fire. we proceeded to cover it with more fire, tin sheetmetal, and then dirt to completely seal the fire in the hole.
carving the pig.So, the pig was fairly tasty, but one side wasn't completely done. It didn't get nice and crispy on the outside like we were hoping. But it was super fun, and I have a feeling it's going to become a tradition when we are all together. Plus, since they didn't perfect it this year, it's like a challenge now. How to get the perfect pig roast.
