[1466]
{F Oh, } you're not. /
[1051]
No
[1466]
Yeah. /
[1051]
-- {C but, } {F um, } I don't know, /it seems like [ a, + a ] big thing for Christmas is usually ham. /
[1466]
{D Well, } funny you should mention that. /I'm a pig farmer
[1051]
{F Oh, } you are -- /
[1466]
# Yeah. # /
[1051]
-- # {F huh. } # /
[1466]
{D Well, } {D now, } it's kind of a hobby more than anything else, /{C but } we're going to have, {F uh, } wild boar -- /
[1051]
My goodness. /
[1466]
-- [ we, + {F uh, } we ] killed a boar the other day, /it was, {D you know, } mating with the sows, /{C and } you can't use the piglets, {D you know, } /{C so. } -/
[1051]
{F Huh. } /
[1466]
It's about six months of no use, /{C so, } [ we, + {F uh, } we ] shot him and cleaned him out and had him, {D you know, } processed into ham, /{C and, } {F uh, } we're also going to have a little roast suckling pig, because [ I, + I've ] got one that's got [ a, + a ] hernia -- /
[1051]
{F Oh, } really. /
[1466]
-- {C and } rather than, {D you know, } pay the vet four hundred dollars for surgery, we'll just cook him and eat him
[1051]
[ Is that, + is that ] hard? /
[1466]
{D Well, } no, /{D hey, } I tell you what, preparing a little pig [ is, + is ] a snap, /
[1051]
[1466]
I'm telling you, real easy, easier than chicken. /
[1051]
{F Oh, } really. /
[1466]
Yeah, /you just, {F uh, } - /you kill him, {D you know, } /you probably, - /most guys just shoot them in the head, /they go, {D you know, } - /in a second they're gone -- /
[1051]
Oh. /
[1466]
-- {C and then } you just dip the carcass in, {F uh, } boiling water, pull it out, {A {C and } [ there's a, + we use a ] little raspy brush, pulls the hair off, } and, {F uh, } gut it, and, {F uh, } just stick it down in a pit with some cloves and, {F uh, } some pineapple, about three pineapples, {D you know, } sliced them up, and, {F uh, } cover him up with, {F uh, } wet, {F uh, } sacks, {A feed sacks is what I usually use } -- *[[more than one utt??]]
[1051]
# Huh. # /
[1466]
-- # and then # start a charcoal fire on top of him. /
[1051]
{F Oh, } my goodness. /
[1466]
{C And } after about six hours, you put the fire out and dig that baby out of there, /{C and } it's the best eating you ever had. /
[1051]
{F Oh, } {D well, } does a boar taste just like regular ham? /
[1466]
Yep, /just like a pig -- /
[1051]
# Does it. # /
[1466]
-- # {E I mean, } # {D you know, } {F uh, } it has a lot less fat. /
[1051]
{F Huh. } /
[1466]
This wild boar weighed probably about three hundred and thirty pounds -- /
[1051]
Oh my. /
[1466]
-- {C and } he dressed out to almost two hundred and ten pounds. /
[1051]
{F Oh, } my goodness. /
[1466]
{D Well, } {D you know, } we took the skin and the head [ and the le-, + and the feet ] off, /{C and } that was about, {D you know, } a [ hundred, + hundred ] pounds of just ham. /
[1051]
{F Oh, } {D well, } how many people are you planning on serving at Christmas? /
[1466]
{F Oh, } {D well, } [ we're, + {D you know, } we're ] not going to eat the # whole thing
[1051]
# Eat it all, /yeah
[1466]
It would take a year. /{C But, } {F uh, } {D you know, } we're going to drive up to Kansas City, see my wife's folks, /{C and, } {F uh, } [ she, + she, ] - /[ [ what's, + what's ] + what's ] your mother cooking for Christmas
[1051]
I don't, - /what is brisket? /
[1466]
Brisket? /It's a part of the cow that they used to throw away. /
[1051]
{D Huh. } /
[1466]
It's just tough as a boot -- /
[1051]
Oh. /
[1466]
-- {C and, } {F uh, } {D you know, } they used to use it for leather, I think
[1051]
# {F Oh, } my goodness. # /
[1466]
# {E I mean, } no, /# I was kidding. /
[1051]
Yeah. /
[1466]
{C But, } {F uh, } [ it's, + it's ] a part of the loin, {D you know, } the rib cage, /{C and } it has a lot of muscle in it and a lot of,
[1051]
[1466]
gristle where it attaches to the ribs, /{C so } it's [ really, + really ] a tough piece of meat -- /
[1051]
{F Oh, } my goodness. /
[1466]
-- {C but } it's so tasty, you can't stand it. /
[1051]
{F Huh. } /
[1466]
{C So } you just take it /{C and } you marinate it for a couple of days -- /
[1051]
{C And } that softens it up, huh. /
[1466]
-- (( )) .
[1051]
{F Huh. } /
[1466]
{C And then, } {F uh, } you just put it in the oven, /takes about four hours to cook one. /They weigh about anywhere from ten to twenty pounds. /
[1051]
{F Oh, } gee. /
[1466]
{C And, } {F uh, } we're going to have that. /
[1051]
{D Well, }
[1466]
{F Oh, } {D well, } we'll have cranberries and hominy /{C and, } {F uh, } [ [ we, + we ] are, + we're ] big on olives and cucumbers and stuff up here. /
[1051]
{F Huh. } /
[1466]
We have [ [ oliv-, + olives, ] + black olives ] and cucumbers and, {F uh, } tomatoes, /we still have tomatoes -- /
[1051]
{F Oh, } do you? /
[1466]
-- yeah, /fresh tomatoes. /
[1051]
{F Oh, } [ we, + we ] just got lots of snow
[1466]
[1051]
{F Oh, } really. /
[1466]
Yeah. /
[1051]
# {F Huh. } # /
[1466]
# {C But, } {F uh, } # it'll go up to fifty or sixty almost. /
[1051]
{F Oh, } my goodness. /I didn't know it got that low at night. /
[1466]
{F Oh, } yeah. /{D Well, } it's desert, {D you know, } /[ where, + where ] we are, [ [ it's, + it's, ] + it's, ] {F uh, } the edge of the desert, /{E I mean, } it's part of the Great Plains. /{C So } in the day time in the summer it goes up to a hundred, hundred and ten -- /
[1051]
{F Oh, } gee. /
[1466]
-- {C and } at night it goes down to about sixty. /
[1051]
My goodness. /
[1466]
Yeah, /we get a fifty [ de-, + degree ] temperature swing in about four hours. /
[1051]
{F Oh, } boy. /
[1466]
{C So } everything that lives around here is real tough
[1051]
{F Oh }
[1466]
That's trees, {D you know, } /we got hundred year old trees that are, {D you know, } twenty feet tall. /
[1051]
{F Oh, } gee. /
