That's a very cruel thing to do to a pig, how would you feel if someone did that to you?

A bunch of recipes
The hawaiians do it best.

Dig a pit deep enough for the pig.

Put rocks in the pit and charcoal, let it burn at least an hour

put bannana leaves for next layer

pig wrapped in bannana leaves goes in

use some of the hot rocks on top and bury the whole thing

in at least six hours dig it up

try a rump roast first to experiment

- For expert advice go to Hawaiian.gov tourist website or google luau-pig roasting for exact process

- If you try to roast it over an open fire like in the king arthur movies it will suck.
check for hawaiian sites. there is ore to the hole in the ground. they use special leaves, but i am sure it could be fun. good luck. I have seen people **** them on stakes over a fire too.

  • What is the reason for cooking khichdi on Makar sankranti and Pongal?

    Khichdi is a very simple dish of lentil and rice. It's very common to celebrate Makar Sankranti and Pongal by cooking Khichdi. I am curious to know, how this tradition started.What is the reason for cooking khichdi on Makar sankranti and Pongal?
    Khichdi

    From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

    This article is about a rice dish. For the Hindi TV show, see Khichri (TV series).

    Origin

    Region or state Gujarat

    Dish details

    Main ingredient(s) Rice, lentils, spices

    Khichri (also khichdi, khichdee, khichadi, khichuri, khichari and many other variants) (Hindi: ?????? khica?ī, Urdu: ????? khic?ī, Bengali: ?????? khichuri) is an Indian food preparation made from rice and lentils (dal). Khichri is commonly considered to be a comfort food, and was the inspiration for the Anglo-Indian dish of Kedgeree.





    [edit] History

    Khichri is described in the writings of Afanasiy Nikitin, a Russian adventurer who travelled to the Indian subcontinent in the 15th century. Khichri was very popular with the Mughals, especially Jahangir. Ain-i-Akbari, a 16th century document, written by Mughal Emperor, Akbar’s vizier, Abu'l-Fazl ibn Mubarak, mentions the recipe for Khichri, which gives seven variations [1].



    [edit] Regional variations

    Khichri is commonly served with another Indian dish called kadhi. Other common accompaniments are papads, beguni (deep fried eggplants in a besan batter), ghee (clarified butter), achar (oil based pickle), and yoghurt.



    Khichri is a very popular dish across Pakistan, northern India, and Bangladesh. The dish is widely prepared in many Indian states like Gujarat, Maharashtra, and Bengal (where it is called Bengali: ?????? khichuri). Vegetables such as cauliflower, potato, and green peas are commonly added. A popular variant in coastal Maharashtra is made with prawns.



    In Bengali tradition it is customary to cook khichuri (Bengali: ??????) on rainy days. It is also traditional in Bengal to cook khichuri as a lunch at the Saraswati Puja during the month of February - the invocation of the goddess of learning - and for other popular pujas such as Durga Puja.



    While khichuri is cooked as a rather rich gourmet delicacy in Bengal, it is cooked very differently in northern and western India, where it is considered a very plain bland dish usually served to people who are ill. Khichri is also the first solid that babies are introduced to. Rice and lentils are simmered till mushy, seasoned with turmeric and salt and fed to infants to introduce them to ';adult'; food. Khichri is also popular in Pakistan. It is especially cooked for children and people with stomach problems as it is easily digestible compared to other Pakistani dishes which usually have meat and are also spicy. Although it has a similar name, khichra is actually a variation of haleem and is not to be confused with Khichri.



    Khichri is also a favourite campfire food owing to the convenience of being able to cook the dish in a single simmering pot.



    Khichri when well cooked with little oil is considered as a light and nutritious dish and is especially popular amongst many who follow an ayurvedic diet practices or nature cure.What is the reason for cooking khichdi on Makar sankranti and Pongal?

    How to tell when Italian sausages are finished cooking?

    Me and my friend are cooking italian sausages on the barbeque but we don't know if they're fully cooked. They're orangeish inside. How do we know when they're done?How to tell when Italian sausages are finished cooking?
    The best way is to put them into boiling water for about 15 min. then put on to the barbecue poking a few holes in each one with a folk and keep turning them on a low flame for about 10 to 15 min. You can cut a piece off and then test it to make sure it's done.How to tell when Italian sausages are finished cooking?
    when the juices run clear..but if you want to be exact get a meat thermometer
    They take a long time if you did not poach or boil in beer first.

    When the juices run clear. When they cook they will seal and cook from the inside, do not poke them and break the skin, they will not be juicy as they could. be..
    you take a knife or something pointy or sharp and you cut it open in the middle and see if you can't spot any raw meat or juice that comes out without you pressuring the sausages, that's how I usually tell



    hope that helps : ]

    Japanese rice is short grain rice and gets sticky when it is cooked. Long grain rice isn't proper for sushi because it is drier and doesn't stick together.

    Ingredients:



    * 3 cups Japanese rice

    * 3 1/4 cups water

    * 1/3 cup rice vinegar

    * 3 Tbsp sugar

    * 1 tsp salt



    Preparation:

    After washing and soaking Japanese rice, cook and let it steam. See How to Cook Japanese Rice.

    Prepare sushi vinegar (sushi-zu) by mixing rice vinegar, sugar, and salt in a sauce pan. Put the pan on low heat and heat until the sugar dissolves. Cool the vinegar mixture.

    Spread the hot steamed rice into a large plate or a large bowl. Please use a non-metallic bowl to prevent any interaction with rice vinegar. It's best to use a wooden bowl called sushi-oke. Sprinkle the vinegar mixture over the rice and fold the rice by shamoji (rice spatula) quickly. Be careful not to smash the rice.

    To cool and remove the moisture of the rice well, use a fan as you mix sushi rice. This will give sushi rice a shiny look. It's best to use sushi rice right away.



    Makes 4-6 servings.
