“燒乳豬 Barbecued Baby Suckling Pig” / 中國飯食文化 Chinese Food Culture / SML.20130209.EOSM.01783

乳豬 Baby suckling pig is a Chinese delicacy. Pictured is how it is served at 翠亨邨 Tsui Hang Village — where SML had his Chinese New Year dinner with the mom’s side of the family. Super yummy. It was said that SML’s sister MSL can eat one by herself. I can too. In previous visits 翠亨邨 Tsui Hang Village used to have the best 乳豬 Baby suckling pig SML has had in Hong Kong, but perhaps because the restaurant was too busy during the holiday seasons (Chinese Near Year) it was not as spectacular as before. Still it was very good. SML Love. SML Rec.

# About 乳豬 Baby suckling pig

 

A suckling pig (or sucking pig) is a piglet fed on its mother's milk (i.e., a piglet which is still a "suckling"). In culinary, a suckling pig is slaughtered between the ages of two and six weeks. It is traditionally cooked whole, often roasted, in various cuisines. It is usually prepared for special occasions and gatherings.

 

The meat from suckling pig is pale and tender and the cooked skin is crisp and can be used for pork rinds. The texture of the meat can be somewhat gelatinous due to the amount of collagen in a young pig.

燒乳豬(亦稱烤乳豬)是傳統食品的一種。製法是將二至六個星期大,仍未斷奶的乳豬宰殺後,以爐火燒烤而成。世界不同的飲食文化中都有燒乳豬這種菜色。中國在西周時相信便已有食用燒豬。當時八珍之一的「炮豚」相信便是指燒豬。在西方,古羅馬的傳統菜譜中亦有燒乳豬一項。現今的中國菜中以粵菜的燒乳豬最廣為流傳;而在西方國家中,葡萄牙及西班牙俱以燒乳豬為特色菜。
