When I was a child we had a pig each year, kept in a sty at the bottom of thegarden and killed by the local butcher in the early winter when the weather was right. my mother's sister would come to stay and together they would 'get the pig out of the way' - sausages, chines (stuffed), chops, legs, has, bacons - and the offal would always be put into small squares of what we called the 'apron', tied up and taken as a gift to each of the neighbours. Those were the days.The Weaver of Grasshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13947971556343746883noreply@blogger.com
