As
Christmas day approaches, I want to talk less about people whose
guts I hate, and more about them I find pleasure in. Vivian
Howard (
PBS series, "A Chef's Life")
is one. I am not making this up. Earlier in the week I
thought a good
post would be about how parents should start teaching their chilluns
how to prepare raw food Especially meat. Like, shoot, skin,
and gut a squirrel. Or Chickens. And lo!. This
episode. It's warm, fuzzy, and full of good cheer.
Aside.
This Chicago boy
learned about such stuff because gram and gramps had a farm in Indiana
where me & sister-sue spent part of out summer. At age 8
I was harvesting and
cleaning chicken, rabbit, and squirrel for gramma's pot.
Gramps had pigs, but trucked them to an Indianapolis abattoir. |
