So you didn't have any pig ? confused here ?[/QUOTE]..........................................The pig roaster will be cooking all day & I use Hickory for smoke. Perfect for slow smoking some ribs..
Well maybe we'll spare the pig & it will just be ribs this year.....it's just more cooking than I wanted to do. the pig I can put on and only have to turn it once all day.I do eat pork .. I just won't look at poor piggy's face cause if I do, I won't be eating pork, either.
I was up in Eureka for the Kinetic Energy/Sculpture Race and someone roasted a piggy on the beach...poor piggy...but the salad was great..![]()

Is it just seeing the head?....you won't have to look at it.....Don't alter your course for me... I'm a recovering Catholic and I was born saddled with guilt.![]()
Yeah I kinda look forward to roasting the pig.....I could fly in Thursday late, grab a roach motel and be there first thing Friday morning. If I'm gonna travel 3600 miles in 3 days, 2 nights, I want the entire experience and I love helping out smoking pork.

But the point was...there will be other things to eat besides roast pork.![]()
I assure you Sam, we won't be shooting any pigs!....and I have a tea cloth....I've got a string of pictures somewhere of my buddy and our last hog killin'. He fed up the 325 pound barrow himself from a feeder pig on and in the pics he goes to shoot the pig, in the soft spot between the eyes, but stops and has to have a shot first. At 6:00 AM! He had several Jim Beam shots, then done the deed.
The animal was cared for well with the understanding the end purpose was protein. It's easier when you are raised with it as a fact of life from a small child. You respect the animal and appreciate the sustenance when that's what you know.

We didn't eat the head anyway....I can have the butcher remove the head....
We won't be making head cheese either......![]()
