A full selection of tripe, tongue, hoofs, pigs knuckles and jowls. Yum (NOT)
Oh come on now, tripe is great in pepper pot soup (a Phladelphia dish).
I've always thought it was funny how you could re-assemble a pig at the grocery store! Might be missing teeth and eyeballs (unless they are included in head cheese), but otherwise, you pretty much can build a piggie!
Oh... and we have black eyed peas (no hog jowl this year, using smoked sausage) in the crock pot and turnips and collards ready to go in the morning :)
Hey, you forgot the chitlins. I don't eat them myself, but my grandpa used to like them. He was born in 1879, and I guess the old-timers ate every part of the pig except the squeal. Grandma made him cook them outdoors because they stunk up the house so bad you couldn't stay in it.
Actually the only thing on your list that I like are the hog jowls. The Rath meat packing company used to sell them smoked like bacon, and sliced and fried they were better than any bacon I ever ate. I don't think you can get them that way anymore.
Anyway, I'm not eating BEP tomorrow. I ate so many of those things growing up that I don't care if I never see another one. I'm planning on going out to a steakhouse for a nice ribeye.
LOL, if you've been eating hotdogs, balogna or salami you've been eating either pig or beef pieces-parts like that all your life anyway...
: D
Thar ain't no Winn Dixie up here in Yankee land. I do kindasortof miss seein all those pigs feet in them jars. Maybe them would go well with black eyed peas.
