Pigs are omnivorous mammals. They are domesticated, but can live in the wild like their close relatives the boar.
The Hog, a small island off the coast of New Providence Island, is named so due to the large population of wild pigs on the island.
History[]
Season One[]
Miranda Barlow keeps several pigs at her estate.
Several pigs are purchased to feed the crew during the careening of the Walrus, and John Silver is to roast them on the spit as the crew’s new cook. However, Silver proves inept and undercooks the pig, giving several of the men diarrhea. When one such member, Muldoon, confronts him over this, Flint intervenes and tries the pig and feigns delight. Once Muldoon leaves, Flint spits out the bite and tells Silver to fetch another pig and to follow his instructions closely.
Silver follows his instructions, and his next attempt proves far better than the first. Silver asks Flint how the most feared pirate captain in the world learned how to spice and glaze a pig.
