No brains, no tongue, no tail, no kidneys, no stomach...yuck!
my grandfather ate ALL of that.........brains look like grey scrambled eggs.......and I do make a mean pickled tongue (thanks to my Basque friends growing up).........don't eat any of it but I make some great pickled tongue................................raven
Raven, my great-grandparents (Cherokee great-grandfather) had a big farm and raised just about everything they ate, so they had that "use it all" style too. It was a blast, though sometimes unnerving, to visit them.
Unfortunately, the meats, veggies, and fruits today aren't the same as they were then. I try to look to our local farmers for foods not as tainted, and it's good for the local economy, too.
we were raised on our own food.........our own meat, veggies, eggs, milk, butter........the only thing grandma "store bought" was bread and "dry goods".........nothing was ever wasted.....watched grandma make blood sausage.....*barf*........it was also the reason I don't eat meat........old habits die hard.........I have a veggie garden and we grow our own produce........hubs is going to build me a chicken coop, we'll do our own eggs, now that they allow it in the city and even though I really hate chickens............don't like or trust processed foods...................................................raven
We learned to stay outta the kitchen (and away from the barns) as much has we could, to avoid the preparations and such.
But the food was incredibly wonderful to eat.

I hear you. That was sun-up to sun-down work, maybe longer, and hard work. My great-grandparents had 14 kids, some of whom remained farming there or on adjacent farms for years, so we great-grandkids were spared. I'm sorry to hear of your father's death. I lost my father when I was young, too.
