I remember in Texas in the '70s, there used to be a place in Virginia called the Red Barn and in Texas (near the old Astrodome) there was a place called The Brisket House. Are there any good places where you are?

The only place I know of to get whole hog barbecue in southeast Michigan
is at my own house. And I need to round up 100 friends to make it
worthwhile.

How can you have a 100 friends, since you say you only care about your
husband? Or do you have a 100 friends you don't care about?

We don't have 100 friends. Hence the difficulty in finding enough people
to make a pig roast worth the effort.

We couldn't do it either, not even if it was a whole tofu hog.

Does it have to be a whole hog that's been barbecued or is it barbecue in
general?

Barbecue, in general, my place is the best but there are many great bbq
joints in this city and thereabouts.

I knew a Hawaiian man that used to raise pigs. He also grew taro and had a prawn farm up in the mountains. That guy was brilliant! He had some service that provided pigs and dug imus for parties. He told me that his imu roasted pigs were pretty good but his really good stuff was suckling pig roasted on a spit. That's what he made for himself and friends. Conversations with him were enjoyable and enlightening. What could be better?
