In the United Kingdom or UK, pig roast is referred to as “hog roast.” Hog roasting is an outdoor event that includes cooking a 200 lb pig on a hog roast spit. Hog roast is a fixture in all parties including, birthday party, anniversary party, and wedding party as well as in most occasions or festivities all over UK, particularly in “show events.”
The hog roast spit has been modernized with hog roast machines becoming prevalent in the market, including a self-basting rotisserie. The history of the hog roast spit dates back in the Medieval times in England, when hog roast spit used to resemble a “pig on a swing” draped with metal chains attached to the hog roast on a skewer and over the open flame of loose charcoals.
In UK, hog roast is the most common of spit-roasted meats. Like in most parts of the world, hog roasting in the UK is no different. You could find roast hog in a birthday party, wedding party, and anniversary party or in any holiday celebrations.
The roast hog is usually rubbed on the skin with salt to produce “crackling.” Hog roast is cooked with cider and bay leaf. The British have loved outdoor festivities as rooted in their Medieval heritage. Hog roasting has fitted this bill to a “T.”
