Actually, long pig has been discussed intelligently and dispassionately 
several times on this list. As a cookery subject it is no more inappropriate 
than any other personally. 

And, before you ask, yes, I have authentic recipes from several cultures in 
my collection of unusual recipe. 

Will I share them here? To what purpose? We know that certain Crusaders ate 
babies but we do not have specific instructions on how they were prepared. 
Certainly such information would be interesting to a serious student of 
historical cookery but since it does not exist, it is a moot point. The 
historical recipes I do have were given to me by an elderly Hawaiian lady and 
she did so with the promise that I will not publish them while she remains 
alive.

I would be glad to see some pre-1450 CE recipes for long pig but, SFAIK, they 
do not exist.
