Why is it that traditionally whole pigs are cooked with a rost apple in their mouth?
Traditionally apple is a complimentary accompaniment to pork, but when suckling pigs were first cooked they were spit roasted & once placed on the table the head would collapse and it would not look very appealing, so some bright spark came up with the idea to place an apple in the mouth to prevent the head collapsing & from there on this particular tradition was carried on.
