opas Posted December 29, 2004 Share Posted December 29, 2004 There is an offer at our local Intermarche, demi porc 1 euro 80 cents per kilo. So Mr O asked the assistant `how heavy is half a pig....approx?` 20-25 kilos she says, So we order a half for this morning , jointed etc oh and you even get 1/2 head but no tongue!Duly arrive this morning and in a moment of madness decide a trolley would be useful! You bet, this 1/2 pig weighed in at 40 kilos!!!So me being the sensible one of the family decided that this big piggy was too much to stuff in our freezer....himself would have pigged out ! and even the butcher said it was a big `un, so back to the shop tomorrow, when he will have 1/4rd it.Must phone my mums friend in Uk for her pigs head recipe.....

Teamedup Posted December 30, 2004 Share Posted December 30, 2004 If you didn't manage to freeze all your pork, maybe you should render it into lard and flog it in England, there is a severe lard shortage over there at the moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patf Posted December 30, 2004 Share Posted December 30, 2004 How about salting some of it .You can buy huge bags of coarse salt in the supermarkets - they have pictures of a pig on them. Then you can cure your own bacon. You should be able to find a method on the internet. Pat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
