Hog fry

A Hog Fry is a traditional Oklahoma Cherokee social meal.

At the meal, large iron kettles filled with oil or lard are placed over open fires. After that, pieces of pork are then placed in the hot oil and fried. Oklahoma History Folk Works

Hog fries are held regularly by tribal, and church groups as well as by individual families.

The social aspect of cooking a whole hog at a Hog Fry is similar to the tradition of smoking whole hogs in North Carolina.
