It’s the Sunday morning after hog killing and I’m in a reflective mood and a touch hung over if I’m being honest. Sunday mornings around home here after a hog killing father had a special recipe he liked to cook up and I thought I’d share it with you gentleman.
Fathers killer hash recipe :
-Step one the day before-
Get up five o’clock Saturday morning despite telling everyone not to be here until eight.
Drink an entire pot of red rose tea and resharpen every knife in the house even though they are already sharp.
Drink another pot of tea as the men from around the village trickle in.
Kill the first pig about seven thirty because everyone’s already here.
Kill pigs until one or two until the work is done.
Invite the men in for a coffee after the pig killing was done, and proceed to open a few jars of 100 proof “strawberry preserves”
Sample jars annd play cribbage until such time as the married men’s wives come looking for them. Put the rest to bed in spare rooms and sometimes on furniture.
Step two Sunday morning- the day you actually cook breakfast.
Get up at five and drink a pot of tea while quietly bitching to yourself about the good for nothing cousins always laying around.
Dice garden grown potatos and onions make a moderate effort to get most of the dirt off.
Start a cast iron frying pan going on the stove with pig lard.
Add diced potato’s and onions to pan.
Slice liver and heart
Toss liver and heart in cornmeal cornstarch and onion powder.
Add to pan
Brown everything
Mix up a small cup of coffee with a generous helping of brown sugar in it.
Add coffee to skillet to loosen breading mix stuck to bottom of pan
Add several cans of hienz maple beans
Simmer the works
Dish out onto plates to free up pan space
Fry up eggs and add to top of hash on plates
Step three:
Sit back to table and eat breakfast while everyone else’s gets cold because if they can’t get up in the morning after having a few fxxx em. “ Expect no sympathy for a hang over give none”
