Oh and all the while the pig screams and cries. BUT cooked over the fire like this...it is delicious. LOL  
(It's also rubbed and stuffed with pickling spice)
p.s. I wish we had Wonkavision!  lol |
Ohmygosh, I couldn't gag down a bite unless my life was literally depending on it. Oh, lord, didn't know that went on. Oh, goodness. I would probably be a total vegetarian if I had to see what goes on to get our meat!!!!! I'm the squeamyishest person about that there is. I can just see a story on the news about a cow staggering around and I can't eat any meat for two weeks! I hardly eat meat anyway just because of the health problems associated with a lot of it. I don't even like to watch poor fish just caught struggling to breath as the fisherman smilingly holds it up. And hooking and stabbing those giant tuna and such - yikes! But at least when I do eat meat it's only a serving size I have to see on the plate and aarrgghhh - not the whole animal. I guess I'd have a serious problem at a luau now. The only one I ever went to years ago in Hawaii I stayed way away from the large pigs but at least they were already all cooked, dressed out and on the table and had flowers and pineapples, other disguises all over them so people couldn't see them so well. I'll have to admit, the pork was to die for but still I couldn't eat but a couple bites as my stomach just turned over and over it felt like knowing where it had just been cut from! But without those whole pigs on the table, I can eat pork. But living there, I guess you get used to it after a while. I do know I could never hear the pig go through all that. They'd have to hit me over the head with a camera to stop my screaming and running from the scene! Tough stuff.
Well, I just had a toasted English muffin, butter and grape jam!
