In Portugal, the Suckling Pig is a celebrated dish with a rich history. It represents a true labor of love, with the pig traditionally weighing around 14-16 pounds before roasting. After slow-roasting to perfection, it’s reduced to approximately 12 pounds, resulting in tender, succulent meat that’s prized for its flavor and texture. The meal is complemented by sides of rice, crispy potato chips, and a fresh salad, adding a burst of flavor and freshness to every bite.

We also offer classic Roast Turkey for those who prefer the timeless centerpiece of a Thanksgiving feast. Our Roast Turkey is prepared with the utmost care, ensuring it’s tender and flavorful, making it a fantastic choice for traditionalists. The complete meal for takeout is a 14lb Roasted Turkey, served with Stuffing, Roasted Sweet Potatoes, Rice with Walnuts, Cranberry Jelly, and a delightful Watercress Salad.

This Thanksgiving, take your taste buds on a journey with Solmar’s traditional Suckling Pig and classic Roast Turkey offerings. We are committed to creating unforgettable moments for you and your loved ones, blending the flavors of the past with a contemporary touch.
