Its body could be stuffed for a roast piglet, with crispy skin glistening with oil.
The pig's face would be ideal for a chilled dish—the ears crispy, with the face meat balanced between lean and fatty, and the snout offering a unique texture and blend of fat and meat.

Ahem.

The little piglet was so pitiful—how could he even think about eating it?
