Call Tasty Roast House in Flushing (59-16 Main St.). They and similar restaurants in Flushing sell roast pig by the pound but maybe they can get you the whole one if you order in advance.
I also heard that Butcher Bar in Astoria can provide roast pigs to order.
It's a popular dish in Spain, Italy, France, Puerto Rico, Philippines and China (Canton). I like it myself. Last one I ate was in Paris where they cooked the piglet in a rotisserie a-la Boston Market.
Filipinos have this technique where they stew the leftovers in vinegar and eat it for lunch the next day, or freeze and have for Sunday next week. Nothing goes to waste and still tastes excellent.
Roasting whole animal over a spit is one of the earliest ways humans have of cooking. Down through time going before Middle Ages and so on.
Whole pigs, deer, fowl, etc... were simply roasted over some sort of open fire. What's that you say? They didn't have electricity and or motors to turn whatever was being roasted? No problem, a human or animal worked as a "turn spit". https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turnspit_dog
People forget not long ago when times were tight (which for many families was nearly all the time), you ate what meat could get hands on. On both in the old country and North America people ate offal:
Back in days when local butchers were where nearly everyone got their meats he usually received whole carcasses and cut things up himself. Thus there was a steady supply of offal which was enjoyed by well off households well as lower down economic latter.
In south or really pretty much Appalachia area gong west into deep south you had "hog boiling" time.
Offal still big in Britain. They turn them into blood sausages and haggis, and this other word that I cannot write in here because it will be censored, but it start with F.
