I had my grandmother make a stew out of a big roadkill coon I brought home one night after a friend I was riding with hit it with her Corvair. I made the hide a project for my Northwestern School of Taxidermy course and had it sitting on the end of the dinner table scowling in our direction. My sister commented on how good the stew was and asked what it was made of....Well, I told her, it's that bad boy sitting on the other end of the table. Bad idea. She gagged and ran outside to toss her cookies off the porch. I still can't help but remind her of that one every few years! It was good eating, but my grandmother was a genius of a cook who could make just about anything palatable.

Everything looks great except the cucumbers, Craig. Wife loves them, but not me.

Hogs will eat anything. Well, almost anything. You can throw cucumbers into a hog pen and they will lay there until they dry up. They won't touch them. Just sayin'..............

:rotf:

Dug a few new red potatoes out of my garden yesterday and boiled them for supper last night and boy were they so good! Bobby

Hogs are pretty smart. I side with my friends Stan and the hogs.:whistle:

A friend that has a farm has two grown sons that as children had food from the garden etc and they both grew up not liking tomatoes . Don’t like raw tomatoes on anything no Tomatoe sandwiches . Think they’re okay with spaghetti sauce and ketchup . Always thought that a little unusual :whistle:

When I was about ten or twelve I caught my mother sprinkling sugar on her sliced tomatoes... I wondered why she had always hidden that passion from her kids until I tried it. Sugar changes the taste of tomatoes in a good way.

Do not ever utter those words in the presence of an Italian again Dean :eek:

Not my fault. My maternal grandmother was full Irish (Goodwin).

In the summer if I can find some of those big old knotty pink beefsteak tomatoes I can take them a loaf of bread a jar of Kraft Mayo salt make three or four sandwiches have some sharp cheddar slices on the side and a quart of 1% fat milk and make a meal of it ! I look forward to doing just that as a matter of fact in a few weeks .

Huh? 1% milk when there’s nobody watching you?
