[QUOTE="hurleyjd, post: 1199578, member: 4674"] Any one living on the farm years ago always had a few hogs, a flock of chickens, a milk cow and the garden. All of these activities furnished food for the family. Chores were a daily event to take care of the animals that furnished you most of your nourishment. My Dad never smoked any meat it was always salt cured. A ham would come in the house and there would be skippers in the hard part of the outside of the ham. These were cut out and the ham was boiled for at least a half of day and then still pretty salty. Only time pork was eaten was in the winter. Chicken was always the family meal. Milk, butter and butter milk were standard fare on the dairy side. Beef was very scarce in our house, steak every now and then always round steak chicken fried. The meat market at the grocery was nearly non existent. This was subsistence farming at its best and every one did it. And most had a little money coming in from some side business outside of the farm. We now think that we can survive by our wits and talents and lot of us would come up short in this department including me. [/QUOTE]
