My husband is Filipino so a whole roast pig with that crispy skin (lechon) is a must at major parties.Christinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00420773211895134710noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18884029.post-80694878302825995352011-12-05T04:34:34.769+11:002011-12-05T04:34:34.769+11:00This sounds like a wonderful read.

I will see if I can get it.<br /><br />Margot, I hope you get to read it soon. There is something awesome about pig on a spit.<br /><br />Zibilee, I try! I definitely was made hungry reading this one.<br /><br />Staci, it was a lot of fun.<br /><br />Kaye, I would be more than happy for him to pay for us all to go to Paris to eat his food!<br /><br />Candace, I have limited myself to just one which will be up soon, but there were definitely more. Actually, I meant to add that this book inspired a <a href="http://www.theintrepidreader.com/2011/10/weekend-cooking-in-praise-of-crackling.html" rel="nofollow">previous Weekend Cooking post</a> about crackling from the book Dissertation on Roast Pig and Other Essays<br /><br />Caite, me too!<br /><br />Uniflame, I get how it wouldn't be appealing to vegetarians. Crackling is one of the pleasures in life for this meat eater.Marghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13508430635744720721noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18884029.post-63545296439018021522011-12-04T04:24:12.514+11:002011-12-04T04:24:12.514+11:00This one and The Most Beautiful Walk in the World ...This one and The Most Beautiful Walk in the World sound wonderful. Like you I love reading books that are set in Paris--but adding food to that? Yum! One of my favorite Paris books is entitled Paris Times Eight--also has some bits about Christmas in Paris and trying to figure out how to plan a French Christmas dinner.<br /><br />Thanks for the heads up on this one!Trish @ Love, Laughter, Insanityhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17225576485797030511noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18884029.post-41249849890992722372011-12-04T02:56:08.222+11:002011-12-04T02:56:08.222+11:00I have this book on my to-read list but I haven...I have this book on my to-read list but I haven't started it yet.

But come to think, I don't think they generally sell pig meat with the skin in the Netherlands either. At least I never came across it in the supermarket or at the butchers. <br /><br />However I do like the concept of this book :) Searching for the perfect x-mas dinner sounds like a fun read :)Uniflamehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08181945318301274101noreply@blogger.com
