Thread: Pigs

  1. #1

    Default Pigs

    Strange i saw no topics for pigs is there a particular reason for this? im assuming most of you are north america and other cold climates and this might be a problem, other then that any experience of any of you with pigs?

    I already saw a video with guys shooting pigs from the air so maybe you guys dont consider it an option but i personally like pig a lot and there are lots of way to conserve\store it.

    Be honest, Justin. When you saw the name of this thread - "Pigs" - you thought it was about you, didn't you?

    unn,, no,, if it said "Pot bellied" i may have thought that , It reminded me of a neighbor I had once though, He never worked , was HUGE and lived off of welfare his WHOLE life and one time beat up his mother, He finially had a heart attack and died, and i wasnt sorry . He WAS a PIG !

    back on topic, When I was a kid , we lived on a farm in Colorado and we had a one eared, one eyed, blind pig named arnold,, he would come running when you called him but he would run into everything on the way,, It was pretty funny,, LOL

    We used to do a lot of wild boar hunting out in Texas. Always think of the heads resting on fence posts (like spits in "Lord of the Flies) along the old country roads lol

    I bet the same stuff that is done the pig leg that we call "Presunto" (last image in first response) might be done with other animals, might require some cold temperature and only a slight raise in Spring to make it work... i might post a translation of the method, any leg that has an outer layer of fat might be preserved for some time this way.

    I bought 25 lbs. (10 kilos) of the finest Presunto (a/k/a Proscuitto) I've ever seen in Ponta Delgada in the 90's.

    I was ASSURED that I could legally bring it back into the U.S. And I could have, but NOBODY TOLD ME THAT I HAD TO HAVE A FORM FILLED OUT BEFORE I LEFT THE AIRPORT in Sao Miguel. I declared it on arrival, and the miserable customs guy seized it at Logan Airport. I wonder how he served it when he got home.

    Sergio, ever have a Folar made with Presunto and Chourico?

    he should be hanged by the thumbs until death comes slowly, a 25lb presunto is enough for a year for cooking, eating with bread, and the ocasional "tapa".

    My mother makes Presunto/Chourico Folar twice each year.

    It's very easy to get wine here. I have about 60 bottles in stock at home, and I live smack dab in the middle of these excellent vineyards.

    Grew up in NE Missouri on a farm. We raised pigs, sheep( ugh) cows and a couple of horses. We did our own butchering, making sausage, salt cured ham in a smoke house. Head cheese and of course chops, roasts pork steak. we also made cracklins, rendered our own lard. We were really self sufficent back then. About the only thing we bought in town was the staples, flour, sugar, salt, pepper rice and beans, oatmeal and of course HOT Sauce. Once in a while I would get a treat of a box of cereal Corn flakes, RIce crispees or shredded Wheat
    I hated the sheep DUMB DUMB DUMB, After two years and they had cleaned out the buckbrush and underbrush in the ditches we got rid of them.

    I haven't butchered in many a year, but Pork is still high on my list. Bone in Pork chops, breaded, baked or fried, greens, sweet corn on the cob, cornbread, homemade blackberry jam and home churned butter with rhubarb pie for dessert.

    Damm I just made myself hungry

    I know it is a good thing that I am not of middle eastern decent, I like pork too much. It must be the German hertiage
