Porkshire Pudding , Notes
- A traditional rural recipe? ’Fraid not: a weekend specialty of William T. ‘The Woodman’ Woods, Jr., whose guests are called to assembly a few days before the feast with the furtive phone message “A pig must die.” While the preparation is virtually the same as

- Mr Woods’s usual method is to rotissoiree a boneless roast of pork; we sincerely apologize for bastardizing his tradition for the sake of convenience and quantity cookery.
Alternatively, you could rub all sides of the roast with an ample handful of Penzey’s Bavarian Seasoning.
