I could use some input here from the experts..
Hal and I have been asked to do a whole hog for a wedding next spring (yes, they are planning WAY ahead
), and we've never done anything like that before. The guy said there would be around 400 people.
So... We have lots of time to practice.
There is no way 1 hog is going to feed that many people. Any ideas on the average yield from one of these things? I think they run around 120 pounds from the meat packing place. Perhaps smaller. I'm sure the hog is for 'presentation', and we'll still have to delivery a metric shedload of pulled pork to feed everyone.
Any other tips? Times/temps? Tricks? Gotchas?
TIA!!!
