Roast Porchetta Roman Style ?

The best sandwich I ever had was from a stall near the central train station in Rome – a heavily salted, whole suckling pig with herbs and a light gravy on crusty white bread. The herbs – (rosemary, garlic and I think Thyme) were pressed into the crackle and it had been grilled over charcoal. There was also a marianade and I have never been able to pin this down.
I have tried a few porchetta recipes but they are never quite the same. Any ideas what the magic ingredients may be ?

Help!!! How Can You Do A Classy/fancy Pig Roast?

My fiance and I are currently making plans for our wedding (It’s 2 years away but I am going over ideas in my head). I really have my heart set on this gorgeous hotel and a fancy classy dinner with waiters and blah blah blah. My fiance on the other hand would like a pig roast. Now when I think of a pig roast I think of a keg and a huge hog on a grill with paper plates and plastic forks, not very romantic or uhh, well just sounds downright hillbilly (don’t mean to offend). I guess I am looking for opinions and ideas on
1) If you would find this idea “hillbilly” or unclassy for a formal wedding,
2) If you have any ideas that could make a pig roast work, I know my fiance would love it if we could
3) If I should just kick him in the nuts and say we are going with the hotel and thats final… LMAO
I was also wondering how much a pig feeds, how much it costs, etc.
Thanks.

I Want To Do A Pig Roast. How Do I Get Started?

I want to learn how to do a pig roast, so I bought a small, whole pig (20 – 25 pounds). Now, I trying to figure out exactly how to cook it. Any suggestions?
I don’t have the space to dig a pit and my grill is not nearly large enough. I am looking to buy the smoker grill out of Home Depot. Is this a good idea?

Anyone Can Have a Pig Roast With the Right Tools

Parties come in all shapes and sizes. There are many ways to have a party that is unique, instead of just choosing to have the same type of gathering that is thrown on a monthly basis. A pig roast is a great way to have a party that will be different from the other events of the year. It will stand out and set the organizers apart from the other parties that precede and follow.

While a lot of people think that such an event would be too difficult to organize, it actually is possible. There are things that are important to know in order to throw this type of event. Once those things are discovered and mastered, anyone can have a successful and entertaining event that everyone enjoys.

First, it is important to choose the Pig. A successful pig roast will use the correct size of Pig. It is important to get the right size, as a Pig that is too large will be difficult to prepare. Also, food can be wasted if the Pig that is chosen is too large. Smaller pigs also cost less money so, the budget can be spared with the selection of a reasonably sized main course.

The preparation of the Pig is also important. Some people choose to use high priced hardware, while other people have managed to make good use out of the items they can readily procure without breaking the bank. This is a fast and affordable way to make the meal. Instead of spending a lot of additional money, costs can be cut considerably by using this method.

Also, during the preparation period, it is important to prepare the Pig in a way that makes it look traditional. Many people like to stick an apple in the Pig’s mouth. That is the method that is most often used in events, and it can be done with ease if the correct methods are followed.

Selecting the right side dishes is also important. There are certain things that go great in a pig roast and people who have never taken part in such an event may not know which items to select. Side items help make the meal even better and allow guests to enjoy themselves more.

The right sauces and spices are also necessary in order to make the event the best it can be. There are many wonderful flavorings that can make the Pig taste much better. With the right selection, the party is sure to be a success.

Just as taste is important so are drinks. It is best to have a unique selection of both alcoholic and non alcoholic beverages. It is fun if the drinks are not common beverages that can be found anywhere.

The importance of atmosphere cannot be ignored, either. Atmosphere is incredibly important at an event such as this, as it helps to set the tone for the party. The perfect atmosphere can consist of games and music. It is important for party throwers to find activities that compliment the event.
