gournopoúla

γουρνοπούλα

Pig roasting on a rotating spit in an American backyard.

This spit roast suckling pig, stuffed with herbs and cooked for ten hours or so until the skin crisps up. It’s especially popular in Kalamáta—they say especially during the Ottoman occupation to taunt the Turks with its fragrance.
