That's a very good deal. I buy half a pig (Old spot) for 110 quid.

this person seems to not like pigs, very much

Prejudice aside, it is likely that the 'unclean' reputation of the pig is due to the risk of Trichinosis

although, as Zingle has said, it is not a common problem in the UK, and as the above Wiki article states, 'proper' cooking will eliminate the risk, anyway.

Just to let you know that the pork went down well. Was cooked lovely. Made an hash of the carving, but I always do - 45 degrees instead of 90 I had the left-over slices tonight - chips, gravy, apple sauce, garden peas

Thanks again

glad it all went well mate
