Covid-19 sucks... big time...!!

[dernektambura]

This is ridiculous... every year, just about this time I order from my German dude, butcher 28 lb piglet, cut lengthwise in half and then each half cut in to 3 pieces for BBQ spit roast... and butcher said: nope, don't have it.... how m I suppose to make transition from old year in to the new year without spit roasted piglet on new year eve... this is like: "sky is falling down" situation for me... something bad it's going to happen to me in 2021... I can feel it... for 40 years, in order for me to stay healthy piglet pay price ...
Now what?

 

[SmokinEdge]

There are other sources for piglet. Go find them. Make it happen

 

[WV_Crusader]

Agreed, more sources out there! I always have peel and eat shrimp with crawfish boil. Had to get the shrimp early this year and freeze as the market was warning on shutting down because of the dang Covid crap!

 

[dernektambura]

Who would ever think Covid will affect pork piglet supply... It is, like, really serious problem now...

My parents used to eat black-eyed peas with onion, chopped bacon (or salt pork), and cornbread every New Years, but could never tell me why. I didn't care for it much so let that pass when I moved away to school.

I just Googled it and eating black-eyed peas on New Years has been a good luck tradition for at least 1500 years! I've never been much for superstitions, but might resurrect their tradition this year. Heck, it might help.

 

[dernektambura]

ask parents about lack of piglet roast... does it make any difference... what is the deal?

We eat black eyed peas with hog jowl and cornbread every new years. Been a tradition as long as I can remember. But being in the south we never need and excuse for peas and cornbread. We love the stuff

hard to find hog jowl this days but if you get your hands on pair, cure it and dehydrate.... once it looses 30% cut it paper thin and use while making pizza or egg breakfast.... heavenly taste....

It's plentiful down here in the southern us. We honestly only use it for beans or turnip or mustard greens for seasoning. Saw someone on the forum make burnt ends from them a while back. They looked delicious. Might have been Sowsage

I wish I can get my hands on whole pig head but not likely... if you dig big 2 x 2 ft hole in the ground.... make a big fire and make good charcoal.... wrap the pig head in thin foil and mud.... take a half of burnt charcoal out, set pig head in the hole, cover with other half of charcoal and let it cook for 3 hrs.... take it out of the hole and break .... in addition with home made pear moonshine sips it will make you 104 yrs old at least.... my grandpa did it monthly and lived to 104 happy years....

The local Walmart here has a bin full of hog heads.

I tried sauteing some mustard greens last week. Came out really chewy?

2020: I'm the worst year ever and you had a pig spit last year
2021: Hold my beer.

You gotta cook greens for hours in a pot.....MiL does them in a pressure cooker though and that takes no time
