To Market, To Market

[doggirl]

Well, I finally broke down and bought my husband the Caja China roaster box for our anniversary. Now I need to find the pig!! We live in Northern Bergen County, but I suppose I can travel if need be. Any suggestions of where I could track down a whole pig? Preferably from someone willing to butterfly it for me?

Lastly- if you have any pig preparation tips other than those already offered on other threads, I'd be forever grateful!!

THANKS

I'm betting that Fink could be of some assistance here!! See if you can reach him at Fink's Catering...Phone: 201-634-1319 or Email Fink directly

Hope that's a start!

A co-worker got one last year on Arthur Ave in the Bronx.

I think your best shot would be at Bieler's at the PA Dutch Farmers Market in the Kingston Mall on Route 27, a bit north of Princeton. This is where the competitors I talked to at the NJ State Barbecue Championship got their meats.

Call them at 609-683-5260. They're open on Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays only.

When I used to work in the Ironbound section of Newark I drove past Seabra's Supermarket every morning (on Wilson Avenue).

There were usually trucks unloading specialty foods and I often saw whole pigs being unloaded and carried into the market.

So I would guess they have them available.

Tony's meat market in Wyckoff always used to roast a pig at Giants games at the Meadowlands, I'm sure they could get you one. There's nothing like the tenderness and flavor of a roast pig....
