This book takes the form of a witty piece of prose that explores the origins and appreciation of roasted pig, intertwining fictional elements with considerations of culinary history. The essay highlights the cultural significance and gastronomic delight of roast pig, presenting it as an exquisite delicacy worthy of celebration. In this lighthearted narrative, Lamb recounts a fanciful account of how the art of cooking roast pig was discovered by a young boy named Bo-bo and his father, Ho-ti, in ancient China. After a fire accidentally destroys their cottage and a litter of pigs, Bo-bo discovers the enticing flavor of roasted pig while indulging in the burnt remains. As their culinary secret unfolds, the father and son begin eating roasted pig together, leading to a series of comical events that culminate in a trial where jurors, after tasting the delightful dish, exonerate them from their alleged crimes. Through this whimsical story, Lamb elevates roast pig to a status of gastronomic excellence, humorously ruminating on the simple pleasures of good food and the colorful folklore surrounding its enjoyment.
