The one with the pig.
The learning journey could not be halted, despite the food festivities.
It switched paths though, from the academic track, to the life skills path.
The girls have been working on a farm knowledge of a working farm this year. They've watched foaling and calving, milking by hand and by machine, and seen chickens lay eggs via the ever resourceful YouTube.
Naturally we have meat and eggs in the kitchen all the time and academically they knew what they have been eating.
Now was the practical lesson from farm to table just as they've learnt herbs from garden to table last year and will be tracking vegetables from garden to table from their Nana's allotment this summer.
They watched YouTube channels devoted to the cooking of the wagyu steak (referred to in my last post) and this last main dish explored in today's post.
A suckling pig.
I had a 4.5lb baby pig in the middle of my table, surrounding by an epic cheese, antipasti, fruit and carbs platter.
Now that was an epic last food experience!
The centre piece was cooked on the bbq, finished in the oven (due to poor weather). We laid down foil as a table cloth and laid everything out for a buffet. The children's faces were an absolute picture.
This fed us for the majority of the following week!
