    The pig itself is not in a pit in the ground when getting cooked, is stuck on a metal pike constantly rolling above the fire/coals to get an even cook. Most people don’t kill their pig, they buy them “freshly killed” from a farmer or butcher. But of course there are still families in rural areas, with pigs that do their own thing. My dad as a child lived on a farm and would hold a basin under the pig to collect the blood when it was killed.

      I imagine it’s delicious, pork when it’s roasted properly doesn’t even need other ingredients it can be so good in fact that some religious folks consider it a sin to eat it. I mean there are other reasons but that’s the one which makes sense to me and I’ll take my chances.

    We have a similar thing here in Hawaii. The method is called "Kalua" and it's basically a pit fire that you cover with rocks, then you put a whole pig (or whatever animal) on top of that, then you place something like banana leaves over that to lock all that smokey goodness in.

    I grew up on a farm where raised cattle, pigs, chickens, and even a few goats. I can tell you getting emotionally attached to an animal you raised from its birth until its time to cook it is a real thing. It was actually a good life lesson. You learn to appreciate the animals for the sacrifice they suffer for us, it taught us lessons on life and death and how to appreciate what you have when you have it, and it taught us how to plan ahead and take responsibility for our own needs and the costs of that.

I found this on google "The campaign started in the 70s to tempt tourists and expats with chicken on Christmas Day when they couldn't find turkey to eat, and was the the brainchild of Takeshi Okawara, the manager of the first KFC in the country, according to the BBC" That is so friggin' interesting that it is still alive today

    I remember when I was at my grandparents (ones from my dad's side lived with us, ones from my mom's side lived in a neighboring country), I think it was Christmas or something, and they were gonna roast a pig. So my brother and I sat on an unfinished balcony near the pig pen, and watched my granddad and his neighbors kill the pig.
    It's probably one of the loudest things I've heard in my life. We even stuffed toilet paper in our ears since it was so loud. They then roasted it on a spit, granddad constantly checking in on it and basting it with beer.

    Just waited until these two heard or saw of what people in Wales do on every Christmas. They go around towns and caroling with a guy dressed up in a white robe with a horse skull on the head for free foods by talking in poems. And I know this by watching Monstrum a few days ago. And this is real and no, I am not insulting this Welsh tradition or anything. After all, this tradition means free foods for everyone who participated in it. It's just that this deserved to be more well known like the whole eating KFC tradition in Japan.

    Man that's wild, getting vivid memories of when I was really young while mouse was talking about how the pig ended up on the grill. Haven't done it since my grandpa passed though. Southern US so we did things a little different, the pig would be like a massive boar that has been raised by someone in the family for a full year so it's like 300 pounds. Usually, we did like 3 or 4 pigs becuase we had a huge family (120 of us gathered up once, whole farm was covered). They'd set up huge barrels of boiling water and kettles over campfires. The pigs were shot once behind the ear so it would be instant and then they'd bleed it out, dunk it in the boiling water, scrape the fur and mess off the hide, butcher it, throw loads of fat into the kettles and fry pork rinds while the hog roasted over a fire pit for hours. It was like a massive feast where you got together and goofed around with family you wouldn't see at all for a year or two at a time. Miss those days

    As a Puerto Rican I've never heard of the whole pit on the ground or buying a pig just to kill it, some people slowly roast it above the fire themselves after it's already dead but most Puerto Ricans my family included just buy a freshly killed pig and just serve it to everyone in a party on the 24th.

      Might also depend where you live. My family has a similar tradition, but with goat rather than pig, and my father has mentioned they used to cook it in a pit when he was younger. However, we now live in an apartment, so we can’t go around digging holes. Making a hole big enough for a whole goat/pigis is difficult to do even if you could. Instead, in recent years we just cut up the goat and cook it on a extra large pot outside. Big enough that my grandpa has what looks like a shortened wooden oar for that pot.

    Very interesting she called it lechón and not perníl.
    Lechón is more commonly a Cuban or Filipino way of saying roast pig, in Puerto Rico it's more commonly called perníl. She could be getting really specific with the language though as Lechón refers to the entire roast pig while Perníl is a Puerto Rican specific way of preparing pork shoulder, but it is commonly also used to refer to the whole prepared animal.
