"Here at River Cottage HQ, we are passionate about pigs. They are the most charming of all our domesticated livestock, arguably the most delicious, and certainly the most versatile. In this unique video, made by myself and the River Cottage team, we offer not merely a thorough grounding in the delights of small-scale pig-keeping but also a complete guide to butchering and processing a pig, "from nose to tail". It includes full instructions for making your own hams, bacon and sausages, and much more besides. But you don't have to be a pig-keeper to enjoy this package - just a pig enthusiast. Anyone who likes pigs and pork, and wants to find out how and why the best pork comes from the happiest pigs, will get a great deal out of it". - (Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall). Spend some quality time in the delightful company of Hugh, Ray, and the River Cottage team. Enjoy the brilliant feature episode, The Joy of Pigs, from the top-rated Channel 4 series, Tales from River Cottage. Then tuck in to over 100 minutes of completely original River Cottage porky delights. Join Hugh for an irresistible guide to getting started with pigs, marvel as Hugh and Ray get to grips with "everything but the oink", then feast on the finest pork recipes from Gill, Katie and the rest of the team.
