FYI - for all those in the Chicago area interested in whole-animal cooking or charcuterie, Mado Restaurant in Wicker Park has a series of demonstrations: hog butchering, pate/terrines, sausage making and headcheese.

I went to the butchering class and came out with a much better understanding of how the animal fits together - and how to make porchetta! Worth a look.

Cheers,

Ian
