I put then in the stock trailer and shoot. If you miss your mark he’s not going far. My finger tips are still sore today.

Seems like a great idea, I'm all about it. But you know what they say....."you can always tell a german, but you can't tell em much." AKA my dad was pretty proud of his "custom" chute.

Man you lost me at head cheese. We raised hogs growing up and I distinctly remember making this. Add it to the list of raw calf nuts and conch cocks as things I won't eat. Although the conch seviche was quite good.

One of my grandfather’s many side gigs was butcher. Head cheese is just a taste of my childhood that I love. Same with beef tongue, onion, and mustard sandwiches. Seems like one or the other was always in the fridge.

I can remember being young like just old enough to read and seeing a bag labeled head cheese in the fridge. Looking at it thinking that cheese must be old as hell it's gone bad. The tongue onion and mustard though is some top notch eating I haven't heard anybody bring that up in a LONG time.

Love tongue sandwiches. One of my favorite scenes (and characters) in Justified was Ellstin Limehouse talking about his smoked tongue.

I’ve got a foreman who’s wife is an amazing cook. She’s making me a batch of lengua from a couple beef, elk, deer, and antelope tongues.
Also turning an entire antelope ham into tamales for me. I tell Jose all the time if I was married to his wife I’d be 300 pounds.

Lengua tacos are killer. One of my all-time favorite camp meals was elk lengua tacos we made out of my bull, while on a moose hunt for my buddy a couple weeks later..

I’ve been having my own sausage party.
Turned into this:
On a related side note, is there a kosher salt shortage? I’ve been to the 4 grocery stores within 30 miles And none of them even have a little thing of kosher salt. I need it to brine a ham.

I told my buddy Marco the same thing. My God those women can cook. After eating at there house a few times when my wife tells me she's making Mexican for dinner it's all I can do to keep my mouth shut.

Hog killing time was long a tradition in the South but with the rare exceptions, it has nearly disappeared from the social calendar. That's what it became, not only a means of subsistence but also a social event.
We had one every winter which usually involved several families of kinfolk and made for a long day, but with the advent of a local cold storage plant and slaughter house opening up in town we gradually got out of the habit when I was in my teens. Sure do miss those events. We have an expression down here which applies to any cold morning of the fall/winter that "It's a good day for a hog killing." but most of the younger set below 60 or so don't know what the hell you're talking about.

Grandma Riser made us beef tongue sandwiches when I was a kid. Comfort food for sure.
We did the whole pig thing on the ranch every year. Kill 'em, scald 'em, scrape 'em, skin 'em, cut 'em, grind 'em.
We ate it all. You left out pickled pig's feet and ham hocks.
Grandma's baking was legendary round about. For her it was lard or nothing.
I was that way too until my sister introduced me to bear fat pie crusts.
