Store Bought Sissy's

Bite into some of it raw, or pickled, or in stews and soups.

You probably wouldn't like prickly pear pads either. Got the same texture to me.

My favorite story on this subject was from my college days, when I lived in an apartment with 3 guys from the Chicago area. One fine Saturday I went to a nearby lake and caught a fat catfish. Brought him home and was cleaning him on the patio when my roommate came to the door. He eyed my work suspiciously.

"You're not going to EAT that, are you?"

I laughed. "Heck yes, I'm going to eat it! If it makes you feel any better, Mike, I can wrap it in plastic first like they do at the store!"

In that respect I was fortunate. My first buckling was soooooo mean- even at two weeks he was butting my ankles. I couldn't go out in the same pasture without a weapon. So I was glad to see him go.
But since then- well I get depressed for a month before they go.

As far as legghorn roosters go I grind them up, good for tacos of chili. Always liked garden veggies and home grown meat though I don't proccess cows or pigs have them sent out. I do deer and chickens myself with no trouble but they are hard to get attached too. When my dad was little my granpa would tell him they traded to beef cow with another farmer if he was attached to that cow. My wife won't touch my homemade yogurt...."you can't leave dairy products out much less WARM ones".......my answer is "Do you think they incubate the store bought stuff in the fridge?" other comments of note, beef tounge is really good especially pickled and I don't care what you say okra is NASTY!
