News just in…the pigs are deceased and my freezer is now well stocked. I’m amazed at just how much meat one pig produces, and that’s without the sausages. We’ll be eating pork until the end of time.
The meat arrived in a fairly bulky way…huge, massive rolls of shoulder/leg which we puzzled over for a while and decided to leave until PigWomanJan came and butchered it in to meal sized portions. The pluck (heart, lungs, liver, kidney) was mercifully mostly missing, due to disease. And the butcher spared us the horror of pigs heads, but did chuck in some trotters for (surely?) pure comedy value. Certainly won’t be eating them let’s put it that way.
And so, the wee little piglets that arrived in sacks in the back of PigWomanJan’s car are now food for the masses. It’s been a real experience, and it’s a good feeling to have food that we raised ourselves. But the proof of the pudding will be in the eating of course.
I noted, with interest, that their wigs didn’t come back. Perhaps the butcher kept it..or did Postman Andy finally get his wish?
sob sob. will you be able to eat it?
I am lost for words.
The picture of the trotters is humorous, artful . . . and yet somewhat grotesque, too.
I can’t wait for your sausage recipe! Guest post on domestic sensualist?
ok.. please don’t throw away the feet, we Armenians cook it… overnight, with makes for a delicious broth, which we then eat in the early morning hours when it’s cold out, with mashed garlic and dried lavash bread which we put in the broth and of course a few shots of vodka, it makes for a great gathering… try it, if you want full recipe let me know :))
hey don’t listen to Mari she has no idea… i know cos she’s my friend too..
there are only some americans who eat the yuk she talks of… the rest of us like the best little white pork chops with no bones or fat. there are all kinds of things at the grocery store from pigs but no… don’t go there… they also make something called hogs head cheese! i mean really wtf is that???
My friend has a pig who her kid will shortly “show” and then they’ll kill it and eat it… I know it’s the law of the land but it ain’t for me darling.
STOP FREAKIN PRESS……….. the darn GRAVITAR has finally worked with the correct cutie pie picture!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I saw some piggy cameltoe! LOL!
EWWWW! I hope the innards were discarded because they might cause disease…. not because they were diseased.
I’m off to read about the curious incident of the pig in the wig!
Okay, I’m back! Loved the Pigs in Wigs post… lovely! Just lovely! And the pork sandwich looked delicious! Can’t wait to see what other kinds of cute piggy sandwiches you come up with.
Yea…no jiggles! I can read, I can post! Hoorah! I think I’d turn into a vegetarian if I had to raise my own meat…I know many who do it…but I don’t know that I could…I know I’m a party pooper…feel free to delete this comment! Mwaah to you!
somehow weird… I love one or two delicious slices of ham… but most of the time I am vegetarian. what about a part 2 of 30 secrets ” 30 recipies with porc in a month (salty, sweet and also sour…)
Wow, did you end up getting an extra freezer for all the meat? Bring on the roast pork dinners! xx
