Wishing you all a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.
I found this fantastic mother pig pie and babies, in La Colmena – Dolceria de la Colmena is one of Barcelona’s oldest pastelerías (patisseries) and it’s always good to have a look in the window when you pass by. I assume the pig is a savoury pork pie, since suckling pig is commonly served here at Christmas. I noticed vacuum sealed pigs in the supermarket this week – they even sell them frozen, as per turkey in Britain and America.

Thanks Eha – I hope you have a good one!
That’s a crusty looking pig, my friend. Have a very Happy Holidays MD!
Thanks Ron – I’d like to think it’s filled like a traditional English pork pie, but I’ve never come across that kind of pie in Spain. I should have asked.
I hope you have a fantastic Christmas!
Joyeux Noël et Bonne Année!
Merci beaucoup et pareil à vous aussi!
Happy Christmas MD – hope to see you in the UK at some point…
Thanks James!
There is something a little unsettling about vacuum packed whole suckling pigs in the supermarket- the imagine the riots of horror here !!
But I love this pie and it’s culinary comment on Christmas food!
Have a great weekend!

They do look a bit weird, especially the when sold as half a pig. I hope you have a fabulous time in California.
Ah yes – halves. Ah well! Tasty I bet.
I have eaten a couple of whole ones in the past, stuffed with sausages. They do taste very good!
Feliz Navidad y próspero año nuevo! Que lo pases muy bien, un abrazo
Gracias Tanya y tu tambien!
Have a wonderful Christmas Mad Dog.
Thanks Karen – you too!
