Everything but the squeak / squeal
Explanation:
Just thought of this. It depends on the tone you want to give it, but this is a common humorous way of putting it. You also find "even the squeak", and it's equally common or more so with "squeal" instead of "squeak".

"Film: "Everything But The Squeak"

They mean they use every last bit of the beast (literally, everything right down to the way it walks) . There are many ways to express this.

I don't think there's an equivalent set phrase in English.

(Of the pig) nothing goes to waste


Explanation:
I think this phrase could be used here. In fact, I think I've seen it used quite a lot in precisely the context of pork and restaurants.

agree  Carol Gullidge: 'Everything but the squeak' makes a good title/refran (sorry no accented a!). I prefer it to 'squeal', which might have undesirable negative connotations
35 mins
  -> Good point; "squeal" might make you think of the poor thing being slaughtered. "Squeak" was my first thought, but then I found examples with "squeal" (including that book title, which is quite witty: I wondered about "the whole hog"). Thanks, Carol :)
agree  Christine Walsh: This one's great
57 mins
  -> Cheers, Christine :)
agree  James A. Walsh: Yes, "squeak" is the way to go here, I reckon. Excellent stuff, Charles.
2 hrs
  -> Many thanks, James ;)
agree  Benjamin A Flores: really good!
4 hrs
  -> Thanks a lot, Benjamin :)
agree  Karen Vincent-Jones: Yes, a humourous touch!
4 hrs
  -> Thanks, Karen :)
agree  neilmac: I prefer "the whole hog" as the sound of squealing porkers always gives me the willies...
5 hrs
  -> I sympathise; I'm very squeamish myself. I like "the whole hog", in fact; it's a decent alternative, I think. Many thanks, Neil ;)
agree  franglish: Go the whole hog but with a squeal, else I wouldn't get down a bite!
6 hrs
  -> This is getting out of hand! Thanks very much, franglish :)
agree  rich.: Like it! And "oink" perhaps!
6 hrs
  -> Why not? Have one on me! Cheers, Rich :)
