we don’t eat dead pigs in this house
How else are you going to eat them? While they are still alive? That’s not going to work.
😁😂😭😅
The best refried beans - black beans and lard!!
Check your Walmart. It’s in the same aisle as Crisco shortening in my store.
Other grocery stores have it with the international foods section.

Fortunately, $4 delta a month is not going to break me.
It’s just not that expensive unless you own a restaurant.
Duck fat is also awesome to coat fillets before grilling. Makes the salt and pepper stick nicely. Gives a nice even char.
They are good!
I lost my taste for pig having to slaughter invasive swine on the ranch.
We just pile them up with mesquite and burn them with diesel by the dozen at least monthly. Assuming we don’t just leave them where they drop.

I don’t particularly care for liver, but my parents insisted on it every now and again. You’re right though. You feel better after eating it.
Coyotes, Crows and beetles all gotta eat too- the dropped Animals certainly don’t go to waste- lots of critters benefit from the carcasses.
I would imagine that after dealing with so many though, that one would lose interest in p3ocessing them. I’ve never had wild pig- would like to try it once, but not a steady diet of it for sure.
My most favorite meat of all.... in fact pork ribs are on the menu for today!!
Wow! Will wonders never cease!
my mother made SOAP out of lard!!!!!! we had it always in our home in the 40’s!
To make the best pie crust, incorporate lard with real butter.
People didn’t used to be as fat as they are today, but when they were lard was usually the reason. Or it’s the easy thing to blame — if being fat is bad and being piggish is bad, what’s worse than pig fat?
my era growing up!
I'm 83. Sisters are well and healthy at 96 and 93! Grew up on Lard!!

You feel better after eating liver because you’ve already eaten it and it’s already eaten and in the past rather than the future.
All the grocery stores around here sell lard, except aldi. But then, it’s Oklahoma.
