"Cochon 555 is a culinary event featuring 5 chefs, 5 pigs, and 5 winemakers in a friendly competition for a cause. Each chef will prepare a 70 pound heritage pig from head to toe for 200 enthusiasts." (flash site) The Cochon 555 series has 10 events scheduled of which 5 remain, culminating in the double-sized Grand Cochon. Fair warning: the photo gallery on the site isn't safe for those who don't want to see piggy parts. Foodista has a better photo set focusing exclusively on the end products.

Meat from genetically modified pigs was stolen from a lab, turned into sausages and eaten by atleast nine people. It may be the first time people in the US have eaten GM meat.

Apparently they "tasted real good".
