Showing Original Post only (View all)So is a new trend? (IMAGE WARNING: ROASTING PIG) [View all]
Yesterday my neighbors pulled out this giant metal box, filled it with charcoal, and roasted a whole Pig on there. I did not participate as I do not eat pork, but wondered if this was a new thing... instead of the back yard barbecue, having a ton of people over for a whole roast pig.
I know that fried Turkey was a thing for a while...but its too damn dangerous.. So..is this the new deal?
How many of you have tried this? I am just curious if this is a new trend...

yes but you know, suffering does not qualify itself by the number of its nation.

Pitting a pig is a great way to roast, also. An Iowan tradition in the fall.

I've only ever done the pig thing in the southeast, but I've been to seafood bakes in NorCal.

There is a case to be made that what you saw is the original and perhaps only tr backyard bbq.
