Filipino men roast a pig in the Philippines in 1944

Gift of John M. Lynes Sr., from the Collection of The National WWII Museum
Description: 

Filipino men roast a pig. "A close-up of one of the pigs being roasted shows how a pole is passed completely through the body from the mouth. The fire over which the animal is roasted is nothing more than a bed of hot embers, to produce a slow fire, to cook the meat thoroughly." Philippines 1944
