Pork

“Pig roasts often have as much to do with mechanical engineering as they do with the culinary arts. Serviceable roasters can be made from 250-gallon fuel-oil tanks. Brick ovens suitable to the task are often large enough to require municipal building permits. But there is a simpler option for the do-it-yourself cook who lacks welding supplies and masonry skills: start digging a hole.”

    having been to a pig roast that didn’t pan out due to insufficient engineering, i will say that this really does matter. it was so sad when the pig was unveiled, and found to be, well, not roasted at all.
