Chris's Specialty Meats on Millerville or in Prairieville. Check page 7 of their menu.

No shite...And I went to Johnny's last night and contemplated starting a Johnny's thread since the Johnny's pizza love seems to be dwindling.

i dont think it's dwindled, think there might have been a few "warnings" passed out, about even mentioning "......s Pizza"..

Get one unseasoned and do it yourself. It's easy and worth it. Scallan's for seasoned or unseasoned, and Roucher's can get you one fresh and might have better prices. I recently paid $2.59/pound for a 35lber at Scallan's unseasoned.

If you want a seasoning recipe, I can give you that too.

I've gotten them from Scallan's and Chris' Specialty Meats.

Both were good.

Unless you have lots of time, get it pre-seasoned. I would never get a "plain" one because it's just a pain in the arse.

Also get them to butterfly it for you.

Good luck.

Ok. Again. Rouchers in Plaquemine. 687-4258

$2.59 dressed. It is the only place around that sells them fresh. Give them a few days notice. They will butterfly .

Any size you want but I stay from 50-60 because they are easy and quick to cook.

Scallans, Chris' and anyone else around here are selling frozen hogs that come from a packing plant in Pontchatoula.

Don't pay the extra to season. All they do and you have to do is sprinkle your favorite rub and inject a bunch of your favorite concoction and it takes me ten minutes to do.

Will a 50/60# fit in a 120qt ice chest?

You always pimp Rouchers, and I've never been there, but is a fresh pig worth driving that far? It's double the drive for me. Serious question though.

Yes...pretty sure a 50# will...at 60#,head space might be an issue.

Just ordered a 50 lb one from Rouchers for A&M game

Inject? Spice mix? Foil ears? I need a foolproof playbook for a cajun microwave

Call Decuir's in Port Allen. They do a good job of seasoning them too. Screw injecting it yourself.

What flavor are you going with?

I like rubbing the inside of a pig with a paste of salt, red pepper, garlic, rosemary, orange zest, fennel seed, and olive oil. Takes it more in an Italian direction than traditional cajun spicing.

It really is a pain in the arse. Does Decuir's sell fresh?

And you can foil the ears, snout and feet if you want for presentation. I use two meat thermometers. One in the ham and one in the shoulder... 50 lb. pig cooked at 230-250 might take 6 hours but probably less. Maybe. I cooked a 40 pounder in in less than 5. It's easy.

I think I'll cook another one soon TB and MB.

I don't know but if I knew that they did, I'd make sure Martini ate some crow for being wrong.

Hell you may as well get the use out of my Cajun Micro while you have it.

Call and ask for David, he'll rub and inject for you at a fair price. I have gotten a few there.
