Pig black cook hard

A good pig needs a good sauce: Here are the recipes! Roasting a whole piglet on a spit is much easier than you'd probably think, and vastly more tasty than you can imagine. We roast a pig every year for my sister's birthday right in her backyard in Brooklyn. If we can do it in the middle of New York, you can probably do it where you are as well. Roasting whole animals has an unrivaled celebratory appeal that taps into one or the other of the primal centers of our brains, and nothing comes close to touching a whole young hog. When purchasing a whole pig, plan on having about one pound of dead weight per person, which translates to around six ounces of meat after cooking and discarding the bones.
