I've recently done my first hog roast. It was for my parents Golden Wedding Anniversary. We had a party here and I'd been planning a particular pig for the roast, and attached is a picture. Thought you might like to see.

A friend built the spit and Rosie was 85kg d/w. We lit the charcoal an hour before putting her on, and she cooked very slowly/gently for 10 hours before the first 'sitting' in the afternoon and kept warm over the coals feeding everyone right through the evening.

Definitely worth cooking over the charcoal.

My goodness, she looks lovely

I can almost taste her

I hope this will be the first of many you do.

Fantastic! We've done them on a scaffold pole inside an oil drum in the past. Not are they delicious, but they make a good talking point at a party too.

Wow, looks great. Any pics of the finished product please?

That picture is of Rosie about half way through cooking. I do have some pictures of her finished, but they are on a disk my sister has made for me.....as a slideshow with music. I'm so useless at computers I can't work out how to copy just one or two pictures from it!!

I'll keep trying, or I'll get her to email just the ones I want.
