The Pre-Industrial Pig

The Underground Food Collective blew into town from Wisconsin a couple of weeks ago with Pamplemousse Preserves, and they set up shop at my place one Thursday night. And this is how it went down:

The setup:

The menu:

The cooks:

The hungry:

The pig:

Well, some of it.

The farmer:

The grease fire:

The most popular dish:

(Sprouted lentil salad with cracklins.)

I wish I had a photo of or a recipe for the steamed cranberry pudding Lee made. People have been talking about that hard sauce for weeks.

Ian also wrote about the dinner on the Gourmet blog.

Update: Here’s another account on the Bitten blog in the NYTimes.

    Everything tastes better when cooked over a grease fire.

    Glad Bittman is doing right by you, Lily. The man is solid. We’ll have to have you guys over here next time you’re in town.

    What all have you been experimenting with?
