Everything
Trotters plenty of meat, head brain tongue, also plenty of meat a little human than pets?
Skin-scratchings, a very small amount of leather, bones ground for gardeners/farmers, maybe pet food ears certainly, pig hearts,live,kidney sone human rest pet food….pigs ears pets and chopped for tins I’m sure
Ok but what happens to the guts!…do I want the answer?

Stomachs, spleens, pancreas, etc go to the Asian markets. Intestines are used for sausage casings. Blood is frozen and sold to different ethnic markets. Liver & kidneys were hot sellers.

Yep, its by design!

Our brains remember what it deems to be important.

I guess nothing is important for me...

You are a walking, talking encyclopedia!

Shouldn't we be talking sports or anything else to change the subject?

I love sausage, but I don't want to know how it is made. And I don't eat "mystery meat" at any buffet!

The conversation here in the coffee shop today highlights the problem of not having enough day games in MLB.

 

[Bruette]

There is a good reason there are no pictures of the animals above the meat case in the grocery store.

 

[chadbag]

I do want to point out that if people were not eating cows and pigs and stuff they’d go extinct.

NOne of those animals are wild and so have life only because they are part of the food chain.

From a review of local restaurant........

While the regular menu holds solid renditions of sweet and sour pork and Kung Pao chicken, the real attraction is the “Wild Side” menu, chock full of the bizarre and unfamiliar. On this side of the aisle, strands of sour & spicy jellyfish, chunks of stir-fried frog jumping with pickled chili peppers and pork stomach strips are the norm. From a small sampling of the exhaustive list, “The Other Parts of a Pig,” makes a strong impression: a tin fire pot engulfed in flame and holding a cauldron of pork intestines, burgundy cubes of blood sausage, and soft tofu in a salty, five-spice broth.

Never mind!

 

[Texas Hobo]

Do you think that she will remember???

Not today, but a year or so from now when you least expect it. She'll remember, you'll have forgot.

Yeah it’s been working but the study shows the water instead of soda would be more affective. Basically if I switch to water and the meds are working better they can reduce the dosage!

Gotcha! that would be good.

either that or because you have to have a freaking subscription to get the ones you wanna watch. I'm on that free ota TV and where I'm at I get white Sox but not my cubs or my cards!!!

that is fascinating to think about actually

 

[Kusojiji]

I'm all but certain he meant that as a compliment.

God help me... I'm beginning to understand Kusojiji! If he were a baseball player, I would call him Cujo. No particular reason, it just seems to sound right in my mind.

Sorry if I come across poorly. I do try to keep things light (no pun intended).

I don't know who Cujo is, but I guess it's not the dog! haha

 

[Kusojiji]

No doubt. I didn’t take offense.

Sorry about that! My comment was based on the amount of light pucks and not anything else. I'm sure you did all the calculations to get the right amount of light in that gigantic room. I guess I should have prefaced my joke by stating something to that effect, but I am tending to be more scatter brained nowadays.

But, to Troy's requirement, perhaps he should add more pucks and use the dimming function to set the levels to the requirement at that time. Better to have more than not enough (which was probably already stated).

 

[migalyto]

Its an old 80s horror movie based on a Steven King novel. Yes, Cujo was a dog.

I have never watched the whole thing, just bits here and there. Horror films aren't my cup of tea.

 

[Kusojiji]

I was in the pork production business twice in my working life. Both times in sales, once in the foodservice/hospitality side and once in the retail side. One company (Large well known) processed 18,000 hogs per day (in just that facility) and the other company was much a much smaller boutique processor that did 2,400 hog per week.

I can confirm that everything was processed/sold, but the squeal.

So the part about that thing being made of lips and a-holes... haha

SKIP THE NEXT PART IF SQUEAMISH





A friend of mine said that he once worked in a butcher shop and was so grossed out by what he saw, he stopped eating meat for a long time. Those animals do get cancer and I will stop here.
