My best friend is getting married in late October. A small (read-inexpensive) party of 30-50 people and a whole roasted pig (apple in mouth :)) is the goal. It is supposed to be a medieval theme. I am having a hard time finding any info on the who and how's of it all. T.O. is the location. Any replies appreciated.

Sorry, I was just acting like those French guys. If your in Texas try Padera Lake Farm 972 723 9290. The have chick,pigs,goat,cow etc. They might ship.
You can also go to a restaurant that does alot of frying. They usually save the old grease for pig farmers or soap people. They will have the name.

Tarquin, if you're in Toronto, I'd think it would be easy to get a roasted suckling pig from the many Chinese BBQ restaurants (albeit you may have to put the apple in afterwards). Lu
