suckling pig
Milk-fed piglet meal
A suckling pig is a young pig slaughtered while still nursing, typically between two and six weeks old.
The small size and tender, mild flesh make it suitable for roasting whole, often as a centerpiece for feasts and celebrations: They served a whole suckling pig at the wedding reception.
