I'll eat it when it is first cooked and still hot, but after that I can't eat it because it tastes different. Wish I like it more though because you can get it pretty cheap around the holidays.Belindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17486895127003368291noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-225169024525576477.post-22498901461873402172019-08-11T14:13:28.943-04:002019-08-11T14:13:28.943-04:00That is great information to know.

Thank you for the tip. <br /><br />I'm so glad you enjoyed the story I told. I love that song too. <br /><br />Lives were so different back then. I don't know that I could go wring a chicken's neck for dinner. I know my neighbor still does that though.

It made me sad then and still does. <br /><br />My parents raised chickens. There was no freezer and sometimes no refrigerator. When we were going to have chicken, one of them went to the backyard and rung a chicken's neck, dresses it, and we had chicken for dinner that night. <br /><br />Belinda, it is the taste of turkey or chicken left on the bone. Take it off the bone before it is cooled. Then it tastes much different than when it is allowed to get cold with the bone in it.

He could never eat turkey after that experience. The smell just always reminded him of the farm.Lilihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13292553654219380455noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-225169024525576477.post-13308485198678179812014-09-08T19:02:38.712-04:002014-09-08T19:02:38.712-04:00The Cajun Bean soup was delicious, Lili.

Thank you for asking. <br /><br />My uncle bought 2 calves to raise for beef and he bought 3 goats and then his son bought 3 more while he was here. They also have chickens for the same purpose. I know I don't have it in me to kill an animal for food. My ex's aunt talks about how she had to kill chickens when she was younger. They would keep 50 or so in the freezer, but she doesn't eat any chicken now. It just made her sick to kill and process them. <br /><br />I agree with you, no $10 steaks here. I did read an article though that said the demand for beef was still high. I cannot imagine where that is though.

I'm not sure I would have it in me to raise livestock for anything other than milk and eggs. But when you raise your own, you do know exactly how your animals were fed and cared for which goes a long way in my book. So I can see the appeal of raising livestock. And he'll be saving quite a bit of money I imagine. Meat prices are simply ridiculous, beef especially this year. Who is buying steaks for $10/lb or more? <br /><br />I hope your cajun bean soup was good!Lilihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13292553654219380455noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-225169024525576477.post-23568000870114092222014-09-08T17:24:37.006-04:002014-09-08T17:24:37.006-04:00I agree, Shara.
