While some cooks season and stuff the pig before laying it on the grill, this dish suggests to include even more pork in your list of ingredients. Posted on the foodie-friendly Food Republic site, this [roasted hog recipe](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/smithfield-smokenfast) hails all the way from [Nirvana](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nirvana-mocha-porter). A recipe contributed by Chris Chamberlain, this dish utilizes an entire hog which is [wrapped in bacon](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hot-honey-bacon) and roasted on an outdoor grill. Spiced with various spices, sauces and seasonings, this dish is a one-of-a-kind culinary creation fit for the carnivores. Though this dish is a vegetarian's nightmare, the pork-packed roasted hog is best served with a side of roasted potatoes, steamed veggies and a wholesome scoop of coleslaw. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.4/10 - Popularity: 29% | Activity: 4% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 70% men, 30% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, South America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Food](https://www.trendhunter.com/food) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Bacon-wrapped Recipes:** The trend of using bacon to wrap different dishes is popular among foodies, opening opportunities for innovative meat preparations. - **Outdoor Grilling:** Outdoor grilling is a growing trend that promotes culinary creativity and experimentation. - **Ethnic Flavors:** The use of spices and seasonings from different cultures in meat dishes is a trend that emphasizes experimentation and flavor diversity. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Food Processing:** Innovative food processing techniques can be developed to create bacon-wrapped meat products that cater to the growing demand for bold and unique flavor profiles. - **Outdoor Cooking Equipment:** The growing trend of outdoor grilling presents an opportunity for the development of innovative cooking equipment that can satisfy the needs of home cooks and chefs alike. - **Catering and Event Planning:** The trend of bold meat dishes with ethnic flavors offers an opportunity for catering companies and event planners to showcase their culinary creativity and introduce new offerings in their menus. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Cheesy Triple Meat Pizzas](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hog-heaven-pizza.md) - [Pork-Filled Snack Bars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/free-range-pork-bar.md) - [Precooked Barbecue-Inspired Meats](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-jolly-hog-bbq-range.md) - [High-Quality British Pork Appetizers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-jolly-hog.md) - [Bacon-Scented Wrapping Papers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/black-label-bacon-wrapping-paper.md) - [Savory Apple Pork Pies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hog-roast-apple-pork-pie.md) - [Herbaceous Garlicky Pork Products](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/garlic-rosemary-bacon.md) - [Hot Easter Hams](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hot-hams.md) - [Smoky Uncured Pork Products](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hickory-smoked-uncured-pork-bacon.md)
