On a sunny monday afternoon in soho #pigsaw was born.
I had just popped in for an innocent pizza an to see the pizza pilgrims boys to de-brief on a heavy weekend of partying when james (pilgrim) and mark (marky market a meat and fish trader) casually asked "did i fancy cooking a whole pig?" without hesitation I replied "yep" .
london's finest can be found on berwick st. mon-fri |
Can you tell what it is yet? |
Then James said he wanted to do porchetta and I was stating to get excited!
The venue was going to be the Endurance pub on Berwick st and considering the week earlier the kitchen there had been occupied by @pattyandbunjoe who had cooked the best burgers I've tasted throughout the whole burger wars 2012 saga it would be a hard act to follow!
so as the day turned into night we headed to the endurance for a few beers and a kitchen scout.
Here's the menu we decided on after a few pints!
So the following monday we got crackling!!!
After picking up our Fruit, veg and herbs we had forgot to get bay leaves so with the driving skillz of a young David hasslehoff a.k.a knight rider, james an I performed a
"herb hit and run" on the bay trees outside soho's hard rock cafe..... Sorry guys!

go,go,go,go!!!!! |
Right, now with everything we needed we set to work on our "Franken-pig" it was off to the kitchen!!
You should of paid the ransom kermit!! |
Boned, stuffed, rolled and ready for roasting! |
6 gentle hours roasting... hardly a 30 minute meal! |
Roasted apples |
Crispy piggy tails! |
With all the pieces to the #pigsaw puzzle ready to go and it nearly 7pm I popped my head into the pub which was starting to fill up with hungry pork lovers.
TIME TO ASSEMBLE THE #PIGSAW!!!!
Boom!! |
Snout anyone? |
Couldn't slice it quick enough |
WOW!! who new pigs could fly (out) the #pigsaw was paraded out to a huge round of applause and we sold every bit of it in 45mins!
who knows #pigsaw2 bigger and porkier!!! maybe????????
Big thanks to @EnduranceLDN for putting up with us.
