    pig farmer here, second generation... no need to convince me... I know all about it
    anyway crazy fun and all, but I like how you connect ''learning'' with the reality of living!... every little bit is a lesson, math, geometry, physics, chemistry... everything counts as ''schooling'' you raise a family after all... even though you look like the youngest kid... [that's a deeper layer of schooling...]

    We used to use hot water to remove the pig's hair. The air will cool the pig so you must keep adding hot water to make the scraping process easier. Next time, keep adding hot water instead of rushing to remove the hair. As a matter of fact, we did not dip the pig, we just added hot water to the part that was being scraped in this way one person did it all.

    • @AngelLuisTrinidad
      @AngelLuisTrinidad Рік тому +1

      That's the way my grandmother use to do it, just adding hot water continuously until finish removing the pigs hair. She would use everything from the pig. She would use the intestines and the pigs blood to make sausages, they are called "Morcilla". The pigs entrails are use to make a stew called "Mondongo".

    According to the original recipe from the Swiss Master Butchers Association, blood sausages are made from half blood, half milk (possibly with added cream), fat, onions, salt, pepper, nutmeg, marjoram, and cinnamon. Every butcher keeps his secret recipe, which can differ from the original recipe, especially in terms of spices. The combination of blood sausages with liver sausages is also popular. What could be better after the slaughter than when the restaurants in the village offer us fresh and well-seasoned blood sausages with sauerkraut and potatoes. It all looked very professional and the meat looks great.

    That 1st grinder cut sounded like hearing the call of Godzilla in the distance! Hahaha I don't think that little wooden shield would have done much but add wooden shrapnel to the other steel shrapnel to pull out of your body if that tank had exploded. Not the finest moment. Fill it with some dish detergent and water 1st, flip/swish it around a few times, then fill it till it overflows clear water out of it. I could imagine the pork crackliins that skin would make!

    We had over 1000 head of hog at one time. We had a round concave sharp disk with a handle on it and that's what we used to dejar our hogs. It was about 5 inches big . You would just rub it around and hair would fly right off it worked great and that was the primary tool for this task. We sold meat and the Philippineoes would catch all the blood and make blood pudding. I've never tried it and have no desire lol. But I like picked pigs feet and tail and snout. All tasty.

    We don't throw away the bones either, we leave a bit of meat on them and use them in soups. First, boil the bones on moderate heat and collect and remove the foam, then add the onion, carrot, celery, parsley root, bell pepper. Depending on how hard the pork boils, the vegetables are added in such a way that they do not boil too hard, then fresh or canned tomatoes are added, it depends on the season and added to taste with borscht or lemon juice, can season with parsley. We use Leustean, but it is something that is not found on your continent, unfortunately. And the borscht is prepared from scalded tarts left to ferment, it must be mixed every day in the vessel in which they are placed, until the fermentation is over, the liquid clears and turns sour. It is also good and healthy. 👌👌👌

    If you take your pork picnic roast, cut and dry curate for a couple of weeks in a vacuum seal bag. You end up with a piece of meat Irish people know as a shoulder of bacon. This is an absolute delicious thing to have for your dinner. Most Canadians have had pulled pork now. Imagine pulled pork but bacon flavor. And this is what an Irish shoulder of bacon is. We would take it out of the refrigerator taking it from its packaging give it a nice wash, put it in an extremely large pot, bring it up to the boil and then simmer for hours. When it is cooked, remove from the pot, the fat and bone should just fall away. Remove the scummy layer from the top of the water then shred up a head of cabbage and cook it in that salty fatty bacon flavoured water. This will make possibly the best cabbage you’ve ever had in your life. Serve it up with some potatoes the cabbage and bacon three ingredients super simple and it will be absolutely delicious. Since I can’t buy shoulders of bacon in Canada, I’ve been making them myself from the pork picnic roast. Now you can make it up with the bone out however, with the bone in it tastes better in my opinion, all meat, regardless of what it is tastes always better on the bone. Give it a try and see what you guys think.

    We eat pork skin, after it has salt with mustard or red onion as an aperitif, it is very tasty. Also, parts of the firm fat layer are cut out with the unpeeled pork filet, left to macerate in a cold place with a lot of salt, after which it can be scalded or not and put in the smokehouse, after which it is left to macerate for another 2-3 days with garlic, with sweet paprika, or combined these two ingredients, it's delicious. Of course, the rest of the fat is not thrown away, it melts, and the resulting clean fat is used for cooking and making soap, as you showed in one of your videos.

    That jello would be very good for your own skin, hair and nails. (Once ingested.) I used to take unflavored jello to help my nails. It does work. The lard makes the flakiest, best tasting pie crusts, too. Yummm...mix some of that 'jello' with cow's cream and cocoa, and have chocolate cream pies...just an idea.
