HogMaws and more...
Hog Maws was on the dinner special list last night, lol. I shit you not. Along with Mediterranean Haddock and other typical dinner specials. Those damn Hog maws sell like crazy. The manager explained to me that they try to keep alot of the Pa Dutch dishes on the menu...I never knew until now that was a dutch dish. I am from Baltimore and lived in GA, where Hog Maws have a totally different ethnic history. The customers kept teasing me asking me if I wanted a bite. That is like asking me to take a bite of liver and onions. It's on my list of don'ts regarding food. I am not by any standards a picky eater. I am amazed that people won't eat calamari. I used to work in a steamed crab house and was always tickled by the out of state guests who sat at the table and looked in horror when I would open the top of a crab and explain how to clean it, and than eat it. I guess everyone's palate is different. You say tomato I say tomatoe...that should be the biggest problem in our world these days...time to go punch the clock..Peace...

Had to look that food up (we lived in Dothan for awhile and ran into much southern food but never hog maws.) Person said: "Hog maws is the hogs stomach. I guess its called maws because nobody would eat it if it was called "hogs stomach""
I helped butcher a hog last month and no one mentioned this part; although by the time I got to the butchering the hogs were hanging in the cooler and just needed to be cut up and trimmed. I don't know what happened to the previous parts, shoulda asked.
Goatman- Now you see why I have no desire to order a hog stomach on a plate, lol? You have butchered a hog before? Wow...
I know when I lived in Georgia my neighbors used to go boar hunting using dogs. They wanted to use my dog. I refused as I didn't want my dog getting the taste of blood, plus those boars are nasty and his dogs would always come back looking miserable.
Be well my friend,
