Boys and girls....my family has decided that we're going to do suckling pig on my sister and brother-in-law's brand new Mama Mia Weber huge motherfucker grill. This will be in mid-October.
Let the discussion begin. I'm so afraid of ruining it. It's going to be a significant dinner bash for family and some good friends visiting from Europe.

Thank god that's not my department. Although that's not necessarily a good thing. Since the activity will be in Connecticut, my brother-in-law is getting the pig.

You should steer them in the direction of Flying Pig Farms in upstate NY. They have a website but I can't remember the URL.
I've also seen some nice looking pigs on Arthur Ave.

Nobody's gonna travel for this - I don't where he thinks he's going to find a pig in Stamford.
I'm considering just showing up, eating, smiling, and keeping my mouth shut.

Lots of investment bankers in Stamford, finding a pig shouldn't be a problem.
Here's the URL for the farm up in Shusan NY,

Here's a link I found on google...http://cuban-christmas.com/pigroast.html
I've been involved in large pig roasts...on a spit..pig wrapped in chicken wire..and a fire being fed all night....fun but the actual quality of the food wasn't that good..very fatty...beer was cold
These instructions look pretty good for a smaller suckling pig.

No way in hell anybody's going up there for a pig.
The grill is a Weber Summit Gold D, for anyone who knows anything about that.

Quel double entendre!!I've also seen some nice looking pigs on Arthur Ave.
Cambridge University Professor of Electrical Engineering, Sir Charles Oatley, in October, 1948, along with his student Dennis McMullan, began the research that led to the production of the first scanning electron microscope in 1965.

Does it have a spit?The grill is a Weber Summit Gold D, for anyone who knows anything about that.
I would guess that would be the way to go if it has.
