Long pig recipes for the genuine teotwawki survivalist....

[Andy BB]

Ok, apart from having a good chuckle at some of the extreme survivalist stuff you get to see on youtube, why don't any of them address the obvious source of protein in an end-of-the-world-as we-know-it scenario? In the UK, there are apparently as many people as rabbits - about 65 million - and there's much more "good eatin" on a person than a bunny. And where ae the tips on the bits to eat, and bits to avoid in order not to get mad cow disease etc? How difficult is human skin to "harvest" to make clothes with etc? Are human guts as good as cat gut for bow strings?

We should be told......

I sense imminent thread doom

My idea for suckling long pig and a certain shrieking brat in the shop will remain forever shrouded in mystery.

I'd go with any recipe that works for more longitudinally challenged pigs. If you want to follow fairly recent tradition then a hangi should be pretty good.

Be aware though that apparently pakehas (Caucasians) are very salty and not such good eating. The addition of a bit of puha may help with this though

Cheers!

Obviously you'd want to steer clear of brains and nervous tissue too. Kuru anyone?

Yeh plus 1 for the shorter of stature they taste lovely and don't require any cooking which is a bonus.

Hmmmm....

Simple is good for long piglet.

Don't forget that those of a more stout persuasion will be self basting on the BBQ.

Of course you shouldn't eat city dwellers - rather like battery chickens or feral pigeons - raised in cramped insanitary conditions and fed junk food.

The pickled trotters may look a bit suspect....

i find that if they are made to run around for a few weeks and cleaned out they are quite passable for the free range variety. Those raised on KFC are particularily flavoursome.

I tend to restrict myself to Vegetarians and Vegans. In a survival situation I'm prepared to extend that to country folk too but normally I find the defects caused by inbreeding a bit off-putting

Remember the wise words of the doctor in Lucifer's Hammer. The ones you want to eat are the healthy ones that run away, those easy to catch are probably sick and the diseases are too easily transmitted to us like with pigs. Steak Tartare is mostly ok from beef but not from pork.

Definitely "Lovely Grub" ... and no shortage for a good long while ... +1 to steering clear of brains and nervous systems though !!! I should add that, even with long suckling piglet, I couldn't manage a whole one
