 There's only so much turkey a man can take. iReporter, Grilling.com writer and Smoke in Da Eye competition BBQ chronicler and team member Clint Cantwell found himself having to gobble down waaayyyy too much of the bird. After roasting, deep-frying and smoking three different turkeys for Thanksgiving last year, he needed a bit of a palate cleanser. Naturally, he swung swine-ward. Cantwell crafted a pig entirely out of pork as a Thanksgiving appetizer. "Pork E. Pigskin," as he was dubbed, had hot links for legs, a sausage body, ham ears, Vienna sausage nose, a pork rind tail and a bacon wrap. We greatly admire Cantwell's ingenious spirit, but we also sympathize with the man. Though most of us aren't flocking about with multiple birds for a single holiday, turkey can still get a little tedious year after year. Has that ever driven you to explore other options? Post your most creative alternative solutions - or passionate feelings about traditional poultry - in the comments below and we just might feature them in an upcoming post.

It's in reality a great and useful piece of information. I'm happy that you
simply shared this useful info with us. Please stay us
informed like this. Thanks for sharing.
I'd eat it. Hells, yeah.
What could possibly be bad about that? It's wrapped in bacon fer cryin' out loud!
I don't even eat pork. I ain't Jewish, I just dont dig the swine. That, okay on one hand cute, but it's like taking a bunch of cadaver parts and forming them into a human baby-like shape.
We opted for a pig roast versus a turkey roast this year and here's how it went:

It was a truly southern-style thanksgiving! I must recommend it.
On the one hand, this looks really cute. On the other hand, it is also really gross. The only bacon in pig form that I will be eating is when it is on a BLT (http://imunchie.com/bar/munchies/blt-sandwich)
