Porky on the Grill

Going down to the country always means good eating.

And with Cowgirl Cre's people, they will always have ribs on the grill.

But I've never been able to catch any of the ribs on the grill. They are always done before I get there.

This year, I heard they grilled 18 slabs of ribs the day before we got there.

With that said, I saw Uncle Cre and Cousin Cre perusing the grill, as if they were barbequing something else.

I decided to walk over and be nosy.


I saw something I never expected to see.

A whole pig, head and all, on the grill.





For some reason, I thought they'd throw that head away. Apparently not.

Uncle Cre was happy to pose with the beloved pig.

He was constantly over in the grill, trying to push and turn the hog...

Then he got to a point where he was trying to tare it apart.



I was all in the way. I know he had to be like "I wish this girl would go sit down somewhere so we can get this done."

The pig was finally done, and the taring down began.

They put everything on a nearby table, and commence to chopping with axes.

The carving of the head gave me the heebie-geebies. Once they looked like they were about to hit the brain, I got the heck on.

Finished product: a whole mess of chopped pork.

I didn't have any... didn't want any.

Something about seeing a whole animal laid out in a grill, well, that's a little creepy.

And it shocked me to see the whole thing getting chopped up. For some reason, I thought that there would be a ham section, some rib slabs, etc. Nope, they just chopped the whole thing up.

I wish I could've been there when they actually open and gutted the hog. That would have been interesting!

*lee fainting from disgust*

No, I think just seeing the pig on the grill was good enough for me.

Good enough for us all!
