Add thyme, bay leaves, allspice, and salt to the pot.

Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 2-3 hours until tender.

Remove the pig's head and feet, and let cool slightly.

Chop the meat into small pieces, discarding any bones.

Mix the chopped meat with vinegar, lime juice, chopped onion, pepper, and scotch bonnet pepper.
