Preparation: 
Bone a sucking pig, remove all the inside and fill it with a stuffing made of veal forcemeat mixed with a little chopped suet, ham, bacon, herbs, two tablespoonsful of finely chopped pistacchio nuts, a pinch of spice, 6 coriander seeds, 2 tablespoonsful of grated Parmesan, cuttings of truffles and mushrooms all bound together with eggs.
