What is National Roast Suckling Pig Day?
On December 18th, the National Roast Suckling Pig Day recognizes a savory dish that requires some planning to make. The results, on the other hand, are well worth the effort..
A suckling pig is a young pig from the age of two to six weeks and is still nourished by its mother's milk. The pork is roasted whole until the skin is crisp. The meat is tender and succulent.
Suckling pigs can range from 8-30 pounds to $20-$20 a pound, depending on the type of product. The finished product is a delicacy most anywhere in the world, due to these factors, as well as the daunting challenge of roasting a whole (granted small) pig..
The roasting process isn't that difficult if you have the right equipment and ingredients. You can make a suckling pig if you've roasted a whole turkey. Only the smallest piglets will fit into most standard home ovens. Unlikely piglets will not fit into most standard home ovens. About 20 adult servings will be available for those at the lower weight range.
