spit roasting
Turning over flames
Spit roasting is a cooking method where meat is skewered on a long rod (the spit) and rotated over a heat source, allowing it to cook evenly on all sides.
This technique works especially well for whole animals like pigs or chickens.
In vulgar slang, spit roasting describes a sexual act involving three people, where one person is penetrated simultaneously from both ends by two partners—the imagery evoking the rotisserie arrangement.
