La Fête du Cochon
There’s no ambiguity about La Fête du Cochon in Trie-sur-Baïse, France. “Ici, le cochon, on l’entend, on le voit, on le mange.” That is, at La Pourcailhade on August 14, 2011, one will hear, see and eat pig!
Sample it all — pork, ham and sausage — while you watch the Pig-Squealing Championship, check out the pig races and, ummm, look at the men in pig costumes vying for best in show (Jamet and Langlois won last year).
