The pig would be fed scraps and bulked up over the course of six months, a butcher would "lead it up the garden path" (that's where that saying comes from) and butcher it. Meats like beef and lamb were much rarer treats.Jack Hargreves has a great half hour on it.[MEDIA=youtube]juvdiEmy1w8[/MEDIA]</blockquote>
