Watcha eating?

[sweettractors]

Most of those were staples to me growing up but I did needed to look up possum grapes. For a while there I thought you were making steers out of the little fellers to sweeten up the possum meat. Waste not, want not.

As I recall the fox grapes were a lot sweeter and larger than the possum grapes. Ken Sweet

I just put possum in there to see if I could get a "rise" from you guys Actually, when I was in my early teens, I did enjoy possum, ground hogs, turtles, frogs, racoons, rabbits, squirrels, deer, dove, duck, quail, fish eggs, hog brains, morel mushrooms, rhubarb, gooseberries, possum grapes, fox grapes, persimmons, sassafras tea, mulberries, pickled pigs feet and so on. Grandma would cook anything that we would kill and clean. Quite adventurous childhood, I think? Ken Sweet

Morels are some of the most desired wild mushrooms around here...they are easy to distinguish and extremely tasty...very expensive if you can find a restaurant that serves wild morels...

Possum grapes are good, and make excellent jelly. Possum ain't so hot; prefer bologna. Head cheese is good; Menudo...once was enough. Frog legs are wonderful.

7 hour goat leg with potatoes, carrots, onions and homemade bread all raised or grown at our places and washed down with a local porter.

When my dad lived on this farm back in the 80's, he had a buddy who would come out and shoot the groundhogs and then cook them. I never wanted to sample the results.

Once you start looking there are a lot of studies to validate plant based diet. This is not a "I believe" diet this is "fact based diet" or I would not be on it. This study is interesting because if you just cut in half the amount of meat (processed) you live 12 years more. It's sad 10,000 had to die from cancer and 5,500 from heart disease to prove it.

A lot of people here say that they don't mind cutting a few years off their life for meat. What they don't understand is that they are the ones leaving their family. I think they are just trying lamely to be macho. I will believe them if they write a goodbye letter to their family and post it. A person where I used to work wrote such a letter and it was printed and distributed at his funeral. It really struck me when the person dying wrote how he will miss his family. It was really sad.

That is extremely sad Don, and I have know a couple of guys just like that...that said if they had to eat that blankety ...blank diet they would rather not be alive...and I don't think they were or are wrong...each to his own...everyone has their priorities...quantity of life to some and quality of life to others...In other words , I think the case can be made for someone to never go outside , never take any chances, take lots of vitamins and eat the perfect diet ...but funny thing is they would probably be struck by lightening or some rare disease..who knows these things...? My point is we all have to do what we feel is right for us based on all the input we get from how we feel, our docs , tests etc....and pray a lot...
