           ROAST PIG                       
  
  The night before have some strong men dig pit 10-15 in" deep Find small 
  (1to2) lb lava (porous) rock and some hard wood. Eucalyptis,Oak,etc. Layer 
  wood and rock to make huge mound in the pit and set on fire about 3AM. 
  Coals and white hot rocks will be ready about 7. check each hour. 
  Salt/Pepper pig inside and out; rub hard. pig should be room temperature. 
  Cover rock/embers with wet banana leaves - 3 to 6 layers. Possible to use 
  seaweed, corn stalk leaves.  Cover this with layers of wet burlap sacks. 
  start at outside and layer like shingles on a roof to the middle. Put pit 
  on a small section of small wire fence section like you keep chicks in. 
  With tongs put several hot rocks in pig cavity near thickest part of meat. 
  Spread one layer banana leaves on burlap and place pig in the middle of the 
  pit. (encased in the wire). Banana leaves over the pig and then cover with 
  burlap again starting from outside and like roof shingles to the middle. 
  Shovel the dirt back in the pit completely covering. Don't leave any holes. 
  Sprinkle lightly with garden hose. Steam will escape but keep well covered. 
  About 4 or 5 in the afternoon it will be done. Also fun to put in a few 
  chickens/whole fish/goats all wrapped tightly in foil. Very carefully 
  shovel dirt from top of pit. When the middle burlap is seen start rolling 
  it back toward the sides and ends. Pig will be thoroughly cooked with meat 
  falling off bone. Put on picnic table and let the guests pick their own 
  pieces. Serve with Hawaiian POI and sea salt. Treat POI like bread never 
  eating it alone but with hunks of pork.
