Dumbest Mythbusters question ever.

They go through a lot of pig carcasses, which may be beat up (“tenderized”) but are perfectly edible. Do they get sick of having a pig roast every week?

No, I didn’t think so, either. I’m just jealous.

Huh?

They don’t eat their experiments.

Gah! I just had a vision of them chowing down on the ‘can’t sell the expensive car because of the dead guy’ myth and heaved.

I think their pigs get somewhat unhealthily contaminated. With shrapnel, usually.

More importantly, the carcasses probably sit out at room temperature for a while and spoil.

… Unless it’s an experiment about eating, of course.

Also, it would be adding ingest to injury.

I.m sure they can easily find a way to dispose of them. C-4 solves a lot of problems.

…I believe that’s ‘insalt to injury’…

As people on the Oregon coast found out years ago, that doesn’t so much dispose of something as scatter it over a wide area.

They just didn’t use enough. Had a whale of a good time, though.

I think they’re also pigs that died of natural causes, which generally don’t get eaten.

What’s the poink of this thread? :confused:

ETA: I knew I’d seen that someplace.

I wonder what a pig tastes like after it’s been dropped out of a helicopter.

You shouldn’t eat pork once it’s gotten high.

Extra tender! But watch out for the bone chips.

I’m imagining the spouse of a MB staffer looking in the freezer during hiatus, noting the lack of roast pig, and asking, “Honey, when do you guys start filming again?” And Jamie is a chef, so it’s probably really good roast pig.

Shouldn’t this thread be in the BBQ Pit?

:smiley:

With God as my witness, I thought pigs could fly.
