We planned on roasting the pig whole, as usual, since we formally
present the whole pig with apple in mouth to the sound of bagpipes,
carried in with all due ceremony <wink>. However, the cooker we rented
was short of propane, and unbeknownst to us, quickly ran out. So, while
a few stout souls ran into the nearest town to purchase propane tanks, a
few other "filleted" the pig and we cooked in pieces. We thought we
were going to have to pre-empt the ovens inside, but luckily did not.
We then carved the rough cuts into serving sized chunks/pieces and
placed them on the platters with the stuffed roasted onions and bowls of
mashed turnips. I did a red wine and rosemary sauce on the side.
