A pig roast or hog roast is an event or gathering which involves the barbecuing of a whole hog(the castrated male pig or boar, bred for consumption at about 12 months old). Pig roasts in the mainland American Deep South are often referred to as a Pig pickin', although roasts are also a common occurrence in Cuba[1][2] as well as the non-mainland US state of Hawaii,[3] with roasts being done in the mainland states by descendants of other areas.
