Another Hunting Thread

we slow cook them in an underground pit oven...  an emu... .  the meat comes out so tender it literally falls off the bone..... .. . make awesome kalua pig....  some friends of ours have a permanent emu that is stoned lined...  and that;s all they do with it is cook pigs for hunters and for luaus ......  it;s pretty awesome...

I had a pig roasted all day when I was in Fiji.  Wow, was that good.  You're right.  It's awesome.  The meat just falls off the bone.  I don't know if you get this from emu cooking, but the skin was amazing, too.  They called it "cracklins".

Were you in Fiji or Tennessee? That sounds like home to me. We'll take a whole hog, spread him out and wire him to two racks top and bottome. Then build a green hickory fire and slow roast him all night turning him every two or so hours. The all night part is the most fun. The later it gets the better the lies get. Pull the meat and add some sauce and you'll slap your granny. That's Tennessee bar-b-cue. Og we call skin craclins too.

Sounds wonderful.

I was in Fiji.  They shoved a branch shaped like a crank through the pig (huge pig, too), and set it on two stakes so the pig was over a pit of burning wood.  They turned the pig every once in a while.  It roasted all day and was ready by 7 PM, I think.  I guess the only real difference is there are no wire racks.

Well, you also have the staying up all night swapping lies part. That actually the most fun.

Sounds like a blast.  If it's ever possible for me to make it to Tennessee, I want to be there when you have a hog roast.
