Much easier to quell dissidents when they have to stay in there house or go out and die.
obviously.
You guys seriously need to expand your culinary horizons.
Which parts are you referring too , the heart and liver ? I have tried both. The heart ........ really chewy . The liver.......nowhere near as good as a properly cooked chicken liver. They are both mediocre compare to the meat , but I'm sure they would taste so much better if I was starving ,as would a lot of things.
Baloney is just lips, assholes some other stuff, too numerous to mention no tree bark.
Your probably right about the lips but I don't think Oscar Meyer puts democrats in there bologna !
Hilarious. I always get a kick out of when folks say such. Whereas the vast majority of Bologna and Wieners is made out of tripe. There are 'some' meat scraps in the mix, but less than 15%.
The snouts though, they were boxed up separately and specifically, and shipped to Mexico. We were told that they stuff them, put 'em on a stick, and roast them over a fire like a meat lollypop. I dunno, I've never been there (to Mexico) to know for sure. I can just say that the shipping containers of THOSE went to Mexico.
Our plant processed 10,000 hogs a day. (you read that right) though we killed 12,000 a day. The other 2k was processed at a different plant. Imagine though, at the minimum there were 2 tandem dump-trailers a day carrying the HAIR away to the rendering plant. If they could have bottled and sold the squeal, they would have. They processed EVERYTHING....
220 lb pigs was the goal weight. 8 lb +/- was allowed, anything exceeding (either way) was penalized at the price. They truly RAN the market.
Now, back to your regularly scheduled Kung Flu/Boogaflu programming.
I appreciate your cultural insight, thanks for sharing!There is a reason why northern Chinese like me and my folks look at many southerners, especially Fujian and Kejia, and anyone south of Shanghai with contempt and call them uncouth and unclean. Ironic that southerners are known for culture, literature, and arts, while northerners are known for horsemanship, fighting, and shooting. However, "arts and culture" also tend to breed cuckoldry, complacency, and straight up faggotry, eastern or western does not matter. Just look at all of those nasty ass Fujian ladyboy pop stars with their shoulder length hair styles and you will see what I am talking about. I am well known at family gatherings for having a bit of a temper because every time somebody puts that pop nonsense on the TV I have no qualms about telling whoever was closest to the TV to shut that shit off or put it on the military channel or something.
That said, when I was 16 years old, and when China had been in the peak of the repulsive 'gutter oil' scandal, my folks took me to see some family friends in Guangdong. I already did not want to go there and to make matters worse, the friends' family kept introducing us to questionable 'acquaintances' of theirs who thoroughly impressed my naive Shanghainese aunt but only came off as creepy and shady to me and all the males on my uncle's side. At least 2 of these motherfuckers were actually trying to flirt with my aunt, who is thoroughly ashamed of even speaking out for herself when things become uncomfortable for her. During the whole time they kept placing "custom", "homemade", and "regional secret" dishes on the table, some comprised of obvious chicken and pork but others containing meat that I had no idea what the fuck they were.Throughout the night I only picked at the bits that were familiar to me and not even full chopstick loads. Only the white rice was guaranteed free of any oil of any sort. Out of "respect" and "friendliness" for those folks my uncle begged me to visibly eat at least some of the stuff. At one point he and a couple of others had to pull me into another room because I straight up declared that if I found out the oil that all of us had consumed in varying quantities that night had been made from gutter oil, I WILL head over to these folks' place with a fucking machete. And I was DEAD ASS serious about it too. Needless to say, that was the last time our family ever went to see those "friends" from the south again.
We don't need gutter-oil down here. We got Paula Deen and ALL THE BUTTER.You're welcome, man... I have had plenty of opportunities to try out many savory dishes from the American south, especially the Gulf Coast states because I am a huge seafood addict. It is 100% true that preparation and source accounts for almost everything, as well as the quality of the ingredients used to season the food. I have never heard of a local sheriff in Alabama having to arrest some guys in a trailer park for making and selling gutter oil. Yet, read a newspaper from Fuzhou or Guangdong about the latest scams, especially involving culinary supplies, and you'd be retching and heaving until you have expelled yesterday morning's breakfast too...
