Do any of you BBQ Jew readers speak Portuguese? If so, your help is needed in figuring out what the heck is going on in this video about a Portuguese pig pizza. According to the website Boing Boing (surely a reliable source judging from the name), the video “documents the creation of the revolting Porco Pizza, a pizza whose crust is an entire, flattened suckling pig.” (Thanks to reader/BBQ buddy Eric “Raw Food Hog” Calhoun for the story idea.)
Unfortunately, I speak no Portuguese and I have no time to learn given my busy barbecue eating schedule. Luckily, I discovered an article on the porco pizza to help explain things. Unfortunately, like the video the article is also in Portuguese. Luckily, I was able to find a free web-based translation service. Unfortunately, the translation is a wee bit confusing, as this abridged transcript reveals:
“Today the Oba presents an unusual plate at least. This Saturday I was invited for a confraternização of a group of friends intitled “the Eaters,” heading given in function of all the fridays to go in a different restaurant… The offered cardápio was the “Paraguayan Pig” or “Pig Pizza “, as some had called. Wise person who if dealt with a stuffed pig, but did not imagine the content of the filling…. Arriving at the mansion, I was to know the process of the preparation. In the reality, it was a boned and open wild boar, that rested in the grate with a golden one to full the eyes…
1 – The pig (or in the case wild boar) boned is tempered with left pickling brine and on of paper aluminum, with the leather for top, until dourar.
2 – Then it is turned for another grate, of this time with the leather for low e without aluminum.
3 – The grate is returned to the fire.
4 – The wild boar is covered by one mixture of cheese, ham, tomatoe, maize, peas, olives, palmito, onion and orégano… Then it is served, abundantly served (he is enough to see my plate).
Porco Pizza!
