( I don't know if someone already mentioned this )................the best pig for a whole hog roast is one that has the hair removed by scalding ( shaving ) rather than by skinning the carcass ( similar to cattle )
Fewer and fewer custom butcher places want to do scalding which is why many people hauled the hog a long ways to be butchered in order to find a place that still scalds hogs.
So many parts that are so delicious and most supermarkets throw away the best parts.
Here are my fav parts of a roasted pig:
- Ears, chewy texture
- pig feet, the membrane between their hoofs are absolutely delicious.
- Pig belly or bacon is the filet minon of the pig.
- pig butt, very meaty great for cutlets.
- a lot of people in the south fight for the pig tail when it's all charred.
