Annual Neighborhood PigFest 2009

[big kahuna1]

Okay gang. Forget the stupid date imprint on the pics. The 14th of Feb. is correct but the year was 2009.

We cook a Pig every year and invite our neighbors over for the feast. It was a beautiful day for Beer, Booze, and PORK!

I will spare you the details of obtaining the Pig but basically we go to a farm and pic the size Pig we want and I will leave it at that. The Pics will describe the rest.


Pig is rubbed down with a Cajun Rub and Garlic

Pig is placed in the cooking cage

Pig is injected with a salt solution and Marinade

Pig is then placed in the La Caja China Box

Box is covered and coals are added and lit

Coals are spread when white and garlic bread is grilled and then Hotdogs

After 3 hours the Pig is done and then turned over, slits are carved in the skin and a sour orange mix is poured on the skin. Pig is then covered and the skin is crisped to make home made pork rinds

Pig is checked after 20 minutes and skin is done

Pieces are cut and served

After Rinds are eaten, Pig is taken out of box

Ready for carving

Carving away

Nothin' but Tasty!

[Tent Camping Mom]

Somebody else suggested that. Sounds Good! I need to find the recipe.

I'm not sure I could eat it with the head left on. I love fresh pork rinds, or cracklins. I haven't had any in years!

Florida has no Winter! In addition, it's 700 degrees workin' around that charcoal! We did have 3 fans going on the deck.

This reminds me of my wedding reception we actually had a professionally catered pig roast - lots of fun. I havent made that connection to the camping board before - I guess it was always meant to be - Whip

MMMMMM..cut me a piece of cheek!

 

[ntsammy5]

Where do you get two pieces of bread big enough to put that thing on?

 

[Gatordad]

I heard Renee actually got the pig, not you.

 

[LONE-STAR]

That needs to be the next piggy in a siggy. Looks good wish I had some.

I don't want that piggy in my siggy.

 

[Cindy F]

I think I just turned vegetarian.

It looks like........an animal. Like...Wilbur from Charlotte's Web. I can't believe you cooked Wilbur.

Dangit......I hope this doesn't ruin any future bacon bonanzas for me in the future.

Stay away from the piggy in my siggy pig killer.~grin~

 

[PolynesianPixie]

I'm really not sure I needed to see that. Here and I was planning to put bacon in the corn chowder tonight

I'm with you, Cindy......I think Miss Piggy is going to make a run for it!

 

[AuburnJen92]

MMMMMMMMM, I can smell that pig at my house....!

LMAO...
I hear you Vickie, Cindy and Ami...but
Steve and Renee turned me on to Venison...I just had to keep blocking Bambi out of my brain and I got over it...lol

 

[ftwildernessguy]

I was gonna reply earlier, but I had to wait for my keyboard to dry out from the saliva that had run all over it. Who do I have to bribe to get an invitation to the next one, Steve?

I don't think I could ever bring myself to shoot a deer. They are all so cute! I have eaten venison before. It is pretty tasty if prepared right. My DH has owned cows before. I just make it a point to not get attached. There's no way I could eat a pet.
