Reminds me of ‘Sausage Day’ at my Grandma’s. That was always a lot of fun and some GOOD EATIN’ later in the season.
She made the BEST Bratwurst you can imagine. :)
Evidently, both of my grandfathers were known for excellent sausage. My paternal grandfather was past the point of being able to butcher hogs when I knew him (I was 7 when he died). My other grandfather was German & I knew him well ... he made all sorts of stuff from his hogs. Even the bloodwurst was good! We still have a large tub that was used for scalding hogs. I think bringing back some good old fashioned Sausage Days would be a positive thing. We also helped the grandparents put together cantaloupe crates for sending them to market. At the end of the season, there was a large get-together on the platform (under cover, but open sides) at the old train station - Brunswick stew, frog legs, Coke/Pepsi (the old timey kind in glass bottles that had some taste), side dishes from the ladies & cantaloupe. Fun times for sure - just doesn’t happen much any more ... “community” of that sort is mostly gone & it’s not a good thing.
