    An update: the 11/23 demo filled up within hours of their email, so Rob and Allie added demos for 11/22 and 12/14, which are now full, too. More demos are in the works for after the holidays.

    Hi,

    I'll be interested in learning how long this demo takes. A side of beef takes 2.5 hours.

    Regards,

    Neurochic and I will be there.We're looking forward to meeting y'all. We'll be at Sun Wa too. It's shaping up to be a delicious transition into winter eating.

    Cathy,

    The demo took about 2 hours with a lot of explaining and answering of questions. Rob butchered 1 side of the pig. I'm sure if he wasn't giving the demo he'd be able to do it much faster.

    It was a great demo and a great experience and would highly recommend it!

    Hey there, I don't think we got a chance to meet at the demo last night. Hope you enjoyed it!

    What cuts of meat were sent home with you?

    A little leg, belly, and loin were sent home.

    It was a great demo where any question that came up was answered. Rob mentioned that it typically takes him about 20 minutes to get through a half of a hog. On Monday, it was 2 hours. He also mentioned that there would be other courses.

    My only hope is that they are related to testa, rillettes, and pate. I will bring my own pig shaped cutting board and mustard.

    Me and Neurochic roasted the loin with mustard sauce two days ago, braised the ham 'chops' in milk tonight, and we'll have marinated Asian-style pork belly tomorrow. This pig is delicious! What a great demo. Thanks to everyone there for asking interesting questions. We're looking forward to going to another sometime soon. See you all at Sun Wa.

    We roasted the leg and grilled the loin and finished it with some sausage into a potee. The belly is curing and will be in a confit (in rendered bacon fat) tomorrow evening.
