Dip kid into boiling water, or dish water over, and scrape with the hog scraper where the water hits. Hair will sheet off. Scrape entire kid, head, tail and all, until it is clean. Pull hooves and dew claws off with a hay hook. Wash with soap and water to remove all singed areas, including the inside of kid's mouth and ears. Do not gut! Rub kid all over with a mixture of olive oil, curry powder and a little salt. Put on spit, and tie tightly so it will not slip on spike. Lay spit between two forked sticked over a bed of red coals, or put spit on a ro tisserie barbecue. Cook until done, skin will crisp up like hog cracklings and be totally edible. Stomach and guts will be edible as well, because the animal has been milk fed. For the squeamish, gut the kid after it has been scraped and washed. Rub inside and Out with the curry/oil mixture. Stuff Kid with a combination of cooked rice, chopped bananas or ripe plantains, sliced almonds, chopped dried apricots, and honey and salt to taste. Sew stuffed cavity. Proceed as above to cook.
