Our hog...I guess we were too refined in Minnesota. Our hog butchering meant bringing the hog to town to be slaughter. A women in DC had me smell her meal of chittlins. After a weak response of "interesing", I went to next room to try avoid retching. My dad talked about goose lard sandwiches which I am happy to say that I know nothing about. Anyway your article is interesting and come have been a contest winner.Brucenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8226156534956319726.post-36103431169068952172011-12-31T09:29:42.126-06:002011-12-31T09:29:42.126-06:00Gotta Tell it Angie!Gotta Tell it Angie!Greg Finleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04431988540061139610noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8226156534956319726.post-1245359837501964632011-12-23T21:37:49.043-06:002011-12-23T21:37:49.043-06:00Oh, lordie - this one brought back some memories. ...Oh, lordie - this one brought back some memories. Yes, I remember hog killing time, too (although my grandpa said we'd use everything but the stink). And being young enough that I thought it was incredibly cool to 'help' my Gran with the lard. I think the pots are still down at the house somewhere. Well, 'pots' is a bit of an understatement. Those suckers were huge cast-iron cauldrons. They'd have been right at home with a witch stirring something disgusting in them at Halloween.<br /><br />Of course, now that I'm thinking about that, I'm gonna have to go write up a little story of my own. I don't think it will match Big Dave's saga, but yes, it must be told. By the way, if you haven't heard of souse meat, I bet Dave could enlighten you...Angiehttp://www.fatchickchronicles.com/noreply@blogger.com
