What is your favorite pig product?

LTC Stephen F. — Fri, 11 Sep 2015 14:50:03 -0400

Total is 9/11/2015 and is 14 years after a group of Wahhabi doctrine Muslims attacked the USA. I am thankful that the flags are at half mast. Thinking about the offense which this group of fanatical Muslims inflicted on us the thought of pig and pork came to my mind.
I know that pig products are highly offensive to Muslims and Jews; but, most Americans seem to like pig products [vegetarians and vegans excluded;-)]
There are pig products we eat such as bacon, pork chops, and pig knuckles and pig skins we toss around known as footballs. Pork rinds are popular someplaces and scrapple is popular other places. What are your favorite pig products?

I love to eat crisp bacon and fried Habbersetts Scrapple for breakfast and lunch and sometimes at dinner. In fact I like crisp bacon on sandwiches and crumbled up in salads.

LTC Stephen F. Bacon all the way! The Huffington Post (a ridiculously biased and liberal website) once ran an article that showed, step by step, how to gut and butcher a pig. Their intent was for it to be gory and shocking so that you'd give up the evils of piggery forever. I left a comment thanking them for teaching me how to make my own bacon.

Should have had an "all of the above" choice. It was a hard decision between bacon and pig skin but went with the latter since that is my favorite sport (Go Bears!) and while I can have bacon year around, football is seasonal.

Have any of you had goetta (Pronounced "getta")? It is a Cincinnati thing. Around the turn of the century German immigrants started looking for ways to make their meat go further. They started mixing sausage with pinwheel oatmeal and goetta was born. It is delicious.

http://www.goetta.com/

Glier's Goetta

The patties begin to sizzle. The pin oats swell and pop. The spices throughout the gloriously married pork and beef infuse the atmosphere. And the corners of your brain turn up to a grin. While the crumbles dance in the hot pan, the rounds color to a golden brown, and your tongue puddles with anticipation. The final patty is flipped unveiling a brilliant batch of toasted treasures. The belly roars.

Isaiah 66:16 - 17
16 For by fire and by his sword will the Lord plead (contend) with all flesh: and the slain of the Lord shall be many.
17 They that sanctify themselves, and purify themselves in the gardens behind one tree in the midst, EATING SWINE'S FLESH, and the abomination, and the mouse, shall be consumed together, says the Lord.
The Most High is going to kill all the ones eating the swine’s flesh and the abominable broth; if you are eating these things HE is going to KILL you; this is a future prophesy that has not happened yet because Christ has not returned.

In case people didn't know the Muslims got the concept of not eating pork from the Bible.
