The Guenther Family keeps tradition alive. I love the way they cook, the store, working together to make tried and true good food. Using lard reminds me of my Grandmother. She had to cook and bake for 11. My father and all my Aunts and Uncles helped her and learned her ways of old time cooking.
It's amazing how they process the hog, and even more amazing, how they all work together and hand it all down from generation to generation. The Guenthers are awesome! Thanks, John, for another great video!
As always, absolutely beautiful families and pure home-grown and produced lovely heart-warming foods, I am EXTREMELY grateful for the elderly gent to kindly show everyone the ingredients for the sausages, as we live on a small holding and have own pigs etc, so the next smoking of meats and sausages I am sure going to give it a try, many thanks.
This family did such a great job being on video 👍 Its never easy having a video camera on you and sharing life. But you all did a excellent job sharing your lifestyle and how things are done in other parts of the country. Thanks to a beautiful family 😊

Thanks Guenther Family for sharing this with all of us💖. We let life's busy hustle busel push us through each day, but forget to pay attention and thanks for the little simple things around us!! I believe everyone should start by taking one day a week as a family and unplug from technology and just enjoy the day as a family!! Because when there gone, there's no turning back. And all you have are memories. All the hard work from each family member here all comes together at the end..it shows❤️.and things are more appreciated and not wasted like things are today by some Much love from Michigan y'all 💖. I did see that Michigander in that country store😉😉💓
Wow I can almost taste the sausage and smell the smoke. This video triggers so many memories. Good Job John thank you!, and the Guenther family for sharing their world with us.

I've found a channel that's finally exactly what I've been looking for ! Only fault is ....all of that food is starving me and very few people do this anymore or where I live they don't. We have a few but the majority of the one's that lived like that have passed away and everybody has went to what's easiest to get by . I wished I'd been born in a family like this . Hopefully I'll get to go visit there store and maybe place an order and get some of that sugar cured meat .
My grandfather used to talk about eating lard sandwiches. He said his mother would limit what they had but he grew up in Georgia and worked hard. We have butchered and done the same for many years. Nothing better!! Great video and awesome experience with the fine folks. Thank you all for sharing and wishing you many blessings & health!
So good mixed in your cornmeal when making cornbread. What beautiful human beings all of you are. Watching soothes my soul. Thanks again John for another prime video.
This video is AWESOME , the family unity and the old fashioned ways are unbelievable ! For the most part the ways are gone in AMERICA today I am the last one in my immediate family left and I miss the old ways of. ( what we used to call America ) the old days are gone . THANK YOU FRANK FROM MONTANA...PS. Look forward to your next video
THANKYOU SO MUCH GUENTHER FAMILY FOR DOING THIS DOING THESE VIDIOES AND SHAREING WITH US THANKYOU APPALACHAN FOR SHOWING US A FASINATING CULTURE CAN NOT WAIT TO COME FOR A VACATION TO THIS AREA OF THE US KATHY DECOSTE ONTARIO CANADA
John I wish more young Americans could watch your shows, its a great source of history, family values and community coming together. Please thank the Gunther family for sharing . What part of Tennessee are they located? Thanks Jeff and Kelly Murray
Man I would’ve loved to knew all that in my younger years. I only got to hear the old folks talk about doing it. We bought sausage from a feller out in the county every fall. Best sausage ever.
What a great video. I can’t wait to see them all. You know later on . After these videos aren’t doing nothing on UA-cam. It be cool to have series of your videos. But I’m sure you have already thought of that.
This takes me back to the early 1960s as a single-digit boy. My grandpa was a retired German/Hungarian butcher, born in the 1890s, and the whole family would get together for butcher days and do EXACTLY what your family does. At six, I was handed a butcher-sharpened knife and taught to CAREFULLY cut fat from scrap meat. I thought I was essential to the process but in reality it was an intro to knife skills, butchering, rendering lard, making sausage, etc. I have never been squeamish about meat since. And I can still distinctly remember with great pleasure the wonderful mix of smells of sage, garlic and paprika in the sausage making. Ohhh and hot cracklins
Very interesting. I like my sausage a bit on the spicy side so I'm sure theirs would be to my liking. Takes me back to my younger days when my grandpa did his own butchering.
Myself coming from a third world country we always cook with lard. Back in the day. We always was healthy kids. This days just don’t take much to get sick. N supposed we eat better food!!! Thanks John for all your videos. And yes we was always active as kids / adults Not in front of tv playing games.
You make me so hungry, you're doing it exactly the way I was raised doing it the same as you do, canning dose smoke sausages is so delicious my Dad is seventy eight and he never cuts back on any of this pork everything is so delicious I love it!
@@theappalachianchannel You have very interesting videos Thank you for sharing I love your channel keep up the great work I looked forward to see the next one.
I'm an old-timer I forgot more than I know but you've reminded me a lot of what I have retained but you helped me out a lot he brought back a lot of remembrance
Omg I miss this ! When familygathered from everywhere too be here for butchering time we’d process 4-6 hogs and it was a week long event . The parents were doing break down butchering. And canning and usually there was a bunch of cucumbers too dill or gherkin pickles also. We ate giant meals that were omg so delicious. Playing with my cousins making lifelong friends . But when grandma and grandpa passed on we all just went our own ways . And nobody kept up the family farm it was made into a corporation and the row crop and pastures was leased and everyone got a small check every year . And the old farm house was removed along with the out buildings . So we let a way of life go and a huge part of our families history was no longer being preserved. Can you imagine growing your entire grocery bills too nothing ? Veggies meat was provided by your family all you had too do is pay for some feed or buy a pig or two and pitch in a afternoon on a weekend . Always having farm fresh eggs fresh milk that was in the barn fridge . It. Gave my family when I was growing up too have my mom at home full time dad worked for the railroad as a conductor gone 2-3 days and home 3 days and back and forth my whole life ! What a wonderful life we lived .
Grew up in Brazil I remember the way to my cousin's house and they would do this every Friday hog and making homemade salami in smoking it was awesome brings back good memories
Thanks, brings back memories of youth, grandparents did home butchering and we processed also, not all the same ways but excellent results! So many used for lard and cracklins. Wonderful video!!
we have always use the set lard as margarine. you add it to sorghum porridge or smear it on toast. add salt and pepper and BOOOOOOM!!! you are good to go.
Just saying the word cracklings made me hungry we used to make crackling corn bread in the Great Smoky mountains North Carolina where I was born in 1939 where we ate anything that didn't eat us first. just watching you folks made me home sick for the old days. we had no running water we used springs and we didn't have electricity but I still miss those days where we made our own or did without.
Learned a lot in this video we always pressed our lard with our sausage press through cheese cloth into metal cans and what was left after pressing we called cracklings
Lard is much more healthy that hydrogenated oils. Cracklings are delicious. Love eating cracklings right out of the big black kettle as the hogs are being butchered. :.
THANK YOU . A fun little journey to the past. And yes most kids today we'll never know heritage. So where is the samples of brunch wager or if you call it liverwurst? Always lunch or maybe early dinner with mustard and onions.
This video starved me!! I would absolutely love to have a piece of their homemade bread and a sausage link. I've always wanted to try cracklins, but I wish I had a jar to give my mama for her to make her cornbread. I know she loved cracklins.
Another Mennonite tradition to use that lard for is to slowly, and I mean very slowly, fry pork ribs in that lard until they are crispy then salt the ribs and cool them off and then the next morning have those ribs for breakfast with homemade bread and jamb. One other traditional and such a delicious way of using that lard is to simply spread it over a slice of bread, salted with all the particles (the waste as he called it) after it's cooled down and turned solid and eat it just like butter on toast for breakfast
This makes my heart happy. I would love to do all this and making lard. I rather use good lard. I wish I can find somebody to send me some scrabble or teach me how to make it..... Is the best of the best?
Enjoy watching your video. Could you introduce all of the members of the family and who is sons and daughters? We used to go to Clarkrange Hunting Lodge when John Gilbert owned and ran the place. Seriously thinking of riding down one day to see the store.
I would have loved to see how you fire up the smoke house with the meat all in there.. we don't use much Hickory wood here in South Africa just Oak.. I have seen hickory shaving at our big stores...

Work hard and cold weather and Lard on toast.

Her scones were delicious.

Lard is not unhealthy. It only becomes an issue when combined with a lot of carbs, carbs are unhealthy.
You are dreaming my friend
Acording to Carnivore diet ultimate food source
Lots of carbs are unhealthy, lard or not
The pharmaceutical industry would have us believe animal fat is bad for us. Absolutely not true!
Myself coming from a third world country we always cook with lard. Back in the day. We always was healthy kids. This days just don’t take much to get sick. N supposed we eat better food!!! Thanks John for all your videos. And yes we was always active as kids / adults Not in front of tv playing games.

Brings back so many memories. After we mixed the sausage Mom would fry some and we would give it the taste test to see if it needed anything.
Great video..... Thanks

I posted a funny. But I deleted it . Don’t want problems. So I’ll say this way . Them fresh rolls that they brought over looked so yummmmmy
Jars should be completely dry to can cracklins like that. Yum, Yum, Yum! Be honest- how long will they last in your family? Not long in mine.
What a great teacher you are. I hope your kids never forget. Have you ever stuffed the hog bladder with sausage and cured it like a country ham?
Wogreat video and hollly wow just beautiful!
