I knew that was coming!!! LOL
The thought of eating an oinker has never appealed to me... When I was knee-high to a grasshoppa, my gramma was cooking some chitlins and I begged her not to make eat them. I just didn't want to, they smelled like crap. I questioned her about what was in the pot, and she - being a VERY frank woman, said "the intestines of a pig... just like you have, intestines. You know where the poo-poo comes out?" AAK!!
She told me I didn't have to eat them, but that what I didn't know was that those breakfast sausages I so loved were the from the same animal.
I never ate pork again. There is another slight trauma that happened to me, leading up to this incident, involving a half-cooked hamhock... But I won't go into that.
My mother allowed me my refusal b/c she rarely cooked it and didn't like to feed us a lot of meat (my mom's somewhat of a health 'freak' if you will). So 'Vella doesn't eat pork. Not b/c it tastes bad, I just don't want to. No pepperoni, no salami, no bologna, no souse (and I understand I used to love souse as a little one)
Now I am afraid to eat it TBH ... lol
I KNOW I will get indigestion.
Alright folks, carry-on
