It always seemed to me that they led lives of leisure, wallowing in their mud and eating slops that we brought them in a big bucket after dinner. My mother would scrape plates into it and then toss whatever she wasn't going to save. We divided up the slops between the dogs (we lived outside and were NEVER invited in the house) and the pigs. <br /><br />I never liked slaughtering day, though, although I do remember like to eat the "crackle" which was the pig's tale. <br /><br />Funny, my daughter thinks of these stories as in "the olden days" when Mama was a child....Mariahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05049511202014141182noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2857155142453175861.post-34824291922555804642009-08-09T09:53:39.575-06:002009-08-09T09:53:39.575-06:00I think you should, it's every grandpa's d...I think you should, it's every grandpa's duty to make homemade ice cream. We used to sit there snagging pieces of rock salt to suck on, and to this day, when I make ice cream, I still can't resist popping a piece of rock salt in my mouth.<br />We also used to lick the cows' salt blocks...I have no problem avoiding those these days though.<br />The thought on adrenaline is that it's what makes meat taste gamey...but I don't know, it's just what I've been told. It would seem to me that factory meat would taste gamey, since the animals are terrified as they're led into the slaughter room, but it doesn't.<br />Also, it would seem that the adrenaline would pass fairly quickly out of the system, so it was probably more a matter of my grandpa being the kind of farmer that believed that if you were going to kill an animal to feed your family you had an obligation to treat it well.<br />And no, I have always loved bacon.Erichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13585535278357090172noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2857155142453175861.post-58545727067254139542009-08-08T22:47:27.245-06:002009-08-08T22:47:27.245-06:00I didn't know adrenaline made the meat taste b...I didn't know adrenaline made the meat taste bad. <br /><br />Did the sight of a stuck pig turn you off of bacon?Terronihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11737715891767920516noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2857155142453175861.post-91339161726084365772009-08-08T22:45:37.605-06:002009-08-08T22:45:37.605-06:00Mmm...homemade ice cream.
