First, I am a meat eater and was raised in the suburbs. I love bacon.
I married a guy who grew up on a pig farm and pork is a necessary staple of his diet. nothin'says home like a big piece of farmer sausage with fried onions...anyway...
About 10 yrs ago we moved from a northern city to Austin, TX. We had a small apt on the east side- And on New Years- SQUEEEL! - you would hear many of the neighbor families slaughtering their holiday pig in their driveway- blood rolling right down into the street- Austin City Limits. A noisy reminder of just where that sausage comes from.
