We've never tried the Costco version, but whole suckling pigs are very popular here around holiday time. I don't understand the price, though. $179.99 for a 25 lb. pig? That seems rather pricey. We get them for well under $2/lb. from our local butcher. Last Christmas, I think that I paid .99/lb., on sale.

We generally just brine them thoroughly and then cook in a fairly low oven for a long period of time and serve with fresh mojo, black beans and rice.

What's with the degrees Celsius cooking temperature? Isn't Costco based in the US? Is this an imported Chinese pig

Clearly, Costco is much more worldly than the rest of the US.

The costco price also includes 2 day shipping. that would certainly make up part of the expense
