[Sca-cooks] Hog, etc roaster for sale, on line...

[Susan Fox-Davis]

Aye, but what of the Impressiveness Value of a whole roasted pig, 
glowing with golden-brown goodness?  Priceless.

One for the animal lovers:  there was the time I borrowed one of Lady 
Molly's younger Vietnamese pot-bellied piglets and brought him to table 
under a covered dish, to reveal him to the Baroness, alive and well and 
munching on the parsley garnish.  "Oh dear, underdone pork, very bad for 
the digestion, we'll find you something else dear..."

I think this was the same critter who got away from us at an Irish Faire 
demo and was chased all over the Santa Anita Racetrack by Molly's 
would-be suitors, trying to impress her but not understanding that if 
you chase a pig it just runs away more.  The pig earned a new name that 
day:  Fast Food.
