You've obviously never lived! Friend did one in his back garden before and it was unbelievable!

Never been to this place either! In Edinburgh and they put the whole pig in the front window after it's been cooked, one of the tastiest things I've ever had!

This thread is bemusing. People have no sense of history. Before refrigeration or commercial butchers, that's what people did. You have a whole animal (cow | sheep | pig), an open fire, and a lot of people to feed. What do you do?

Mmm crackling.

Ahh. So you're one of those people who likes meat but doesn't want to be remined that you're eating an actual animal.

Next time you're eating a chicken leg remember it came from an animal and a week ago it was running around quite happilly (if it was lucky enough to be free range). If it was unlucky it was factory farmed.

You shouldn't quote peta as a reliable source of information on slaughterhouse practices.

I've been inside a chicken abbatoir, I've seen the CO2 baths, people there seem perfectly normal, professional people. It's just not true to say "most chickens are still alive" going into the water... it would be some seriously bionic chicken to survive a gassing and a throat slitting & still be conscious 5 minutes later going into the water baths.

You remind me of a dim wit from my work who freaked out on our christmas night out. We splashed out and went to a Michelin Star winning restaurant and when her chicken was presented on the bone she got all queasy and proclaimed that she didnt think 'they made chicken like that in this day and age'.
Meat comes from dead burnt animals. Your being able to see it or not does not altar the fact.
Whilst we are at it:
Eggs are aborted Chicken babies
Honey is bee vomit
Milk comes from cows tits
Prawns are sea slugs
Arrrrgh

Much better; in this article the "odd one" is still very much alive going to the killing room, but crucially the author does admit that they are all stunned, i.e. unconcscious.

This is a vast improvement on the misleading and highly improbably statement of "many" still being alive and scalded to death made by the ever unreliable Peta.

So they're electrocuted and then beheaded. Even if they're not stunned from the electrocution having their head cut off should finish the job pretty sharpish, don't you think?

I've been in an abbatoir. I've skinned rabbits. I am happy with my decision to eat as many different kinds of meat as I can get my omnivorous little hands on.

If you seen how cows are treated you'd never want to eat one again

Urbanites, pigs have been roasted on spits for thousands of years. Plus, one does not eat cows, we milk them..which by the way is where your milk comes from. We eat bullocks, cattle reared for beef. Spit roasted pig has an excellent taste, takes bloody ages to cook though. Very popular at most shows around the country.....sorry, I meant outside the Pale...

starbelgrade · 18-08-2012 02:50PM

I'd a barbeque a few weeks ago & we spit roasted a baby pig. It was the nicest meat I've eaten all summer.. absolute heaven (on a stick).

Cow on a spit
Aw man I'm drooling now
What bout hippo on a spit
If I could I'd put all meat on a spit especially deer

Sunnyisland · 18-08-2012 03:02PM

At a barbecue/party in Portugal a few years ago,These go on for about 2/3 days,It was been held by Ecuadorians in a private villa,They had a sheep grazing on the lovely designed lawns,The first evening they brought the sheep over cut its throat and let it hang for a while and then presided to carve up the meat and cook it, nothing went amiss,nothing.Lovely it was.

Exactly how often do you 'see it going on'? I can count on one hand the number of times I've come across a spit roasted pig unexpectedly. Are you living in some kind of medieval village where this is a daily occurrence? Are random people jumping out at you brandishing pigs on sticks? Is it a major problem in your life?

Nothing better than spit-roasted pork

The ears are particularly crunchy.

What's that got to do with me saying never go to a slaughterhouse?

Nope, generally the eggs were never fertilised in the first place.

No their not. The first clue that this is not that case is that prawns are shellfish.

Something like this is a "sea slug":
