How to get the best out of a whole roasted pig?
My fiance's bachelor party this weekend included roasting a whole pig. We now have a LOT of leftover pork. I know what to do with the cuts like the loin and the shoulder, but what about the other tasty bits that don't often show up in the grocery store? Does anyone have any tips for using any particular parts of the pig as leftovers? Your porky wisdom would be much appreciated!

Pull off or do a rough chop on as much meat as you can, throw it into freezer bags, squish out all the air, and freeze it. Use it as needed in BBQ pork sandwiches, tacos, fried rice, stir fry, chili, Tex-Mex rice (rice, corn, black beans, pork and salsa cooked together and sprinkled with cheese). Beginning your married life in hog heaven. . .Priceless.

Could you use the bones for pork stock?

I have saved many of the bones and some of the skin to make stock. I'm loving the idea of Tex Mex rice.That sounds so tasty and easy. Thanks for the suggestions!

betteirene is correct and i wish i had your problem, omlets with cheese, onions and bell peppers ain't bad either.
