In God we trust, all others must pay.
Often people want to know, what does the pig taste like? To others this may seem obvious, but not everybody has been to a pig roast. I tell people that it will taste like "a pork chop" or fresh pork. Some times people get "roast pork" confused with bacon, ham or pulled pork. Bacon or ham have been "cured" in salt and smoked, that is why the ham and bacon are pink and salty. "Pulled" pork is usually a pork shoulder cooked long & slow till it falls apart. It will just shred very easily. It will look kind of stringy. I like to "chop" the pork in small pieces. I do not shred the pork because I find that it will "dry" out very quickly. The skin is almost always crispy and will have a smoky taste. The meat will have just a hint of smoke, even thought the pig is cooked over wood the skin blocks the smoke from the meat. Remember pig skin is thick, they make footballs from it. And most of all the fresh roasted pig is not "greasy". I find so many shall we say "un-educated" people who think the pig will be fat and greasy. Yes pigs have fat, but a 70-120 lbs. pig has little fat compared to the cuts of meat at the super market. Super market cuts, such as chops, ribs or hams are cut from large pigs, not roasting size pigs.
Flipping the pig. We do this every 1/2 hour.

The breakdown: Have Pig Will Travel is a small catering business. I provided credit card payment options for my customers several years ago to make it easier for business customers to pay without the dreaded purchase order process. I do not take or will never take PO's or purchase orders as it is a slow... slow system of "me" getting paid. But due to the increase in processing fees, American Express being the worst, I may have to drop the credit card thing all together. The fee that I am passing on to the customer in no way makes it free for me to process your purchase. I still pay mechant account fees and all the little hidden stuff they throw in. Passing the fee to the customer is nothing new many companies do it, including your local gas stations.
When paying for a purchase for on-site catering or delivered food the physical credit card should be present. If the card can not be swiped due to a bad strip or is not present you will receive an additional 1% fee on top of the 2% or 3% fee. Why? Because that is what the bank does to me. Fun isn't it. They think of everything they can to get money. The card must be present for swipping and an impression, this proves to the bank that I physicaly had the card in my hand at the time of sale.
As always you can make payment by check or pictures of dead pesidents or Ben Franklin. Business checks or personal checks are fine. Out of state checks are not a problem either.
