"Unveiling the Dark History: The Brutality of Spit Roast" In a haunting black and white engraving, we witness a chilling chapter in history as Irish Catholics torment English Protestants on the dreaded spit roast. The image serves as a stark reminder of religious conflicts that once plagued our world. Amidst the opulence of The Lord Mayors Feast, an intriguing scene unfolds within the Guildhall Kitchen. A Baron of Beef is mercilessly roasted over an open fire, symbolizing power and dominance. This engraved artwork captures both the grandeur and cruelty embedded in such festivities. Venturing far across oceans to Manila, we encounter another form of spit roasting - this time with culinary delight rather than torture. In vibrant watercolors, Manila and its Environs come alive with scenes of mouthwatering spit-roasted piglet (lechon). It showcases how cultures celebrate through gastronomic traditions. Delving into biblical narratives, an illustration from The Story of Mary and Martha transports us back to ancient times. Here, J. C's intricate engravings depict a pivotal moment where hospitality meets spirituality – perhaps even hinting at communal feasts centered around spit-roasted delicacies. Shifting gears to more contemporary events, we find ourselves amidst charitable endeavors in Warwickshire. Mr Murshell dons his white coat while contributing to Alford Coronation Committee's cause – their fundraising efforts receiving a generous £300 boost from The Mayor of Warwick's Charity Fund. Perhaps they envision community gatherings complete with succulent meats rotating on spits. Traveling further eastward brings us to Southeast Asia's Philippines – renowned for their mastery in lechon preparation. An enticing photograph captures the artistry involved in spit roasting chicken on barbecue grills; its tantalizing aroma permeating every corner during festive occasions. Not limited to poultry alone, ham takes center stage on yet another grill adorned by corn cobs nearby – tempting our taste buds with its smoky flavors.
