Wow, that could take hours! Who won?
Duck fat potatoes! 
I’ve used that method with chicken. Good idea about pre-cooking. Will do.

Ah! In the Philippines, Lechon ( whole suckling pig is best ) is typically served with a sauce called Sarsa. That is roasting the pig’s liver, then making the sauce with cider vinegar, bread crumbs , garlic, shallots, etc cooked very slowly in open fire . The day after, left over lechon meat is added to the sarsa, cooked slowly with more garlic and cider vinegar until the sauce permeate the meat which is fantastic. You can buy bottled sarsa from Asian store, do not know how good they are
When I used to make lemon here in this country, I only use pork belly and cook it until crisp with turbo boiler after preboiling it and I do sometimes make sarsa using liverwurst or liver pate from Lyon ( the best). Most of t he time, for just a slab, I short cut the sauce with just my usual dip of soy sauce, cider vinegar, garlic and crush red pepper.
There were times for special occasion we would order a suckling pig, keep it for a month fed with corn then roast it on open fire. But that was long time ago when both Bill and I were practicing and had party for our crew .
I can see you dripping grease but having a great time!

I made dirty rice with the addition of the trinity, shredded homegrown zucchini, and lean ground beef. Tomato-pepper salad with thyme balsamic dressing, okra with smoked sausage, and buttered asparagus alongside.

Like suckling pig, but who did the killing? After a month, it would be tough to separate.

Wait! What?? …This site is unbelievable.
Ahh! I see containers of sauce. Might not be something I would try after having it sit all day in a classroom. Hmmmm.
Honestly? Your home cooked meals look more delicious than the restaurant meals. Nice job.

Prior to having our house completed ( took 7 years to build) , I had the wonderful opportunity to rent a 350 acre farm from a colleague ( he used the house rarely on weekends. I rented the visitor’s wing of the house, with the farmer’s wife and daughter as babies sitters for my 3 year old son then. They grew tobacco as well as have lots of chicken, pigs and oh yes, beautiful but noisy peacocks. The farmer took care of the suckling pig that we bought, fed it corn, acorn for a month, then butchered it.
NO, there was no problem at all as he was used to it.
Even when we moved to our home in 1979, we were still able to do so with his help as the farm was but 10 miles from us.
The farm belonged to OBGYN Michael Jackson, MD (rip not the pop star) who made his fortune from over 100 abortion clinic in the US. Michael became very wealthy, went and help rebuild Jamaica when it was hit by a very powerful hurricane in ? 1988 or so .
The Filipinos from work came at the break of dawn to roast it, with mouth open and yes, an apple in the mouth. They crank it manually but at one time, my husband had a heavy duty electric spit for it. We provided them with beer and snacks and of course guest for their efforts.
There was hardly any meat on those sucking pigs that we roasted, and I will tell. you that when the pig was being cut, first the skin came off, all the guest would just go and grab the pieces and dip it in the sarsa.
My husband was amazed at how fast the crispy skin disappeared.
His quote
" Boy, the crispy skin disappeared like magic"
That was true!
I have pictures in my scrapbook.
