Here is a real fun one only to be prepared at a party preferably one where a keg is involved. Can be a little pricey but you should be able to do it for under 100 bucks, just get a few friends to pitch in. It feeds an army. We did this once at an LSU game when we were playing the Arkansas Razorbacks, the look on the players faces as their bus drove by was priceless.
Whole roasted pig.
1 Whole pig 30bs or so
6 pack of woodchuck hard apple cider
1 quart of apple cider vinegar or apple infused balsamic vinegar
1 quart of olive or vegatable oil
1 bottle white wine wortershire sauce
1 cup salt
1 cup pepper
10 apples
3 bunches fresh sage
1 bunch fresh tyme
3 heads garlic
3 large onions
2 cups whole grain mustard
Take apples, sage, tyme, garlic, onions and place in a burlap sack. Beat the sack against the wall or smash everything with a hammer. You dont really need a burlap sac but its not near as fun if you dont have one, just make sure all ingredients are crushed well. Combine all ingredients in a cooler or something large enough and marinate the pig for 24 hours. If you dont have access to a big enough fridge get a couple of bags of ice and leave it in the bag and place on top of pig to keep it cold.
Find a smoker and smoke pig whole for 8-9 hours at 200 degrees basting with the marinade occasionally throughout, tap the keg and drink lots of beer. put a pan under the pig and save all the drippings. transfer the drippings into a pot and boil to reduce the liquid by half. stir in whole grain mustard to taste (about a quarter cup) and seve sauce with the meat.
You can also use this recipe for pork chops or pork tenderloin, just cut way back on your ingredients, you may want to that first before going whole hog.
