My Pet Pig

[mete]

This pig finally came home after many years. I carved [ files and rasps] this rosewood pig for a relative when I was 8 years old. She passed away and it was returned to me.Those were very productive years for me !!..It's 3" long.

You want a BBQ pig story ? Even before I carved that pig my father worked on Park Ave ,Manhattan [VERY rizzy ] .He got to talking food with a salesman from Alabama. That led to the salesman saying he'd send a little pig to my father.My father thought it was just an idyl comment and forgot it. But one day there arrived ,on Park Ave, a crate with a little pig !! My grandfather had a restaurant with a little back yard area so they put the pig there and fattened him up with leftover polenta and pasta ! Then he took him to a Chinese chef friend who BBQ'd the pig...Anything can happen in NYC !!

Here's how the Italians teach the Brits to take apart a pig. How is it that the Brits throw out the head ? No head cheese there ?

This is a pig we cooked up in Fairbanks, Alaska at one of our distributors

They are back again! last year we caught 18 behind my house. This year they returned with a congregation. Hope they do not get into the vineyard , if they do no wine this year.So far they have a healthy respect for the electric fence I installed around it.....I am talking about wild hogs....lots of them and they are taking over the state. Correction....they are trying to take it over.......from our Spanish speaking neighbors to the south. if that's not politically correct my appoligies....sort of
