...Ey up firebugs !
.
...I know this sort of post doesn't appeal to all of my followers but the harsh truth is that if you eat meat a life has to be taken & someone, somewhere has to do the dirty work.
.
...We have reared pigs for years now & mainly rear half bred jungle pigs that take a lot longer to rear but the meat is highly prized & delicious. When the time comes the pigs are killed & butchered by us & on this occasion we were having a harvest celebration & family gathering so we decided to make the extra effort to slow cooked it on a spit.
.
...The improvised oven was made from banana stems & bamboo & the coals burn at one side of the floor so the spit can be moved near to or away from the heat as required. The whole process took most of the day but everyone got involved & enjoyed helping & it was a great day with amazing food to finish it off.
.
... Take care guys and I'll catch ya soon.
