Georgos came round last night and we went to the pig field. He took some mulberry leaves and threw them on the ground in front of him. The pigs came to eat them and in a split second he had put a 12 bore cartridge right between the male pigs eyes. He then cut the main artery and decapitated it.
I helped him to get it up onto a hook hung from the mulberry tree and he ad it skinned and gutted in about half an hour.
We then took it to the house where it was wrapped in a sheet to protect it from flies and left hanging to bleed dry. Total cost 20 euros.
Wow. That was an experience.
To avoid upsetting anyone, this is what it looked like this morning, in the bag, as it were.
Took it to the butchers after buying the sprayers for the field and a quick trip to Chania for a "big" shop. 15 euros to turn it into 46 kilos of bite sized pieces. The hard part was putting all the bits into freezer bags.
