Quoting the line from the award-winning movie, Babe, “Think of it: What a feast!”

Please Note: A photo of the substantially much less adorable pig that we actually do roast will be coming shortly. Recalling the movie, Babe was originally headed for the roaster and the dinner table, but discovered a higher purpose and destiny. Rest assured that our pig's only destiny is the roaster and satisfying your hunger. Moreover, they neither talk nor herd sheep.
And for us and you...
