Thread: First bush stalked pig

Hey Matto are you trying to make him look bigger ? - 'Was so big we needed an engine lifter just to get him off the ground'

Any way enough BS, excellent piggy. I use a different skinning method that you could try with the next one if you feel inclined.
Do all the cuts on the ground and free the skin from the neck and shoulders. Then hang up by the nose - or the front legs, if the bit with the nose has been removed. Split the skin right the way down the backbone to the arse, then peel of one side then the other like a two sided banana.
A boar that size is borderline for getting tough. What I do is cut the carcase in half in front of the back legs and freeze it. When it is solid frozen take it to the local butcher and get the whole lot band-sawed into chops. Slow baked for 2 1/2 hrs @140c with a slice of onion, tomatoe and a little sweet chilli sauce on top, choice !
