Hog & Hog’s Feet Quotes

“....no part of a hog is made of sausage, spam, or has suger-cured bacon as part of its anatomy.”
Harvey Blatt, 'America's Food' (2008)

“A Traveller should have a hog's nose, deer's legs, and an ass's back.”
Benjamin Franklin (1706-1790)
Poor Richard's Almanac

“Here we supped . . ., having amongst other dainties, a dish of truffles, an earth nut found by an hogg trained to it.”
John Evelyn, British diarist (1644)

“But fried hog's feet were nearly the best of hog killing. After boiling tender, the feet were split lengthwise in half, rolled in sifted cornmeal, salted and peppered, and fried crisp in plenty of boiling hot fat. Served with hot biscuit, and stewed sundried peaches, along with strong coffee, brown and fragrant, they made a supper or breakfast one could rejoice in.”
'Dishes & Beverages Of The Old South'
Martha McCulloch-Williams (1913)
