Well if you want to get technical about hog meat, hogs carry a parasite that can penetrate the stomach walls of a human and get into the blood stream and cause sickness and I donít know of a cure, so the meat needs to be thoroughly cooked in order to kill the parasite, many other animals can carry parasites as well. Water can also carry parasites and disease yet most of us go confidently to the Fawcett and draw water to drink and not think much about it. If I fry bacon this morning, which I just might do since I had oatmeal the last three days, I know that parasite, if present, canít live to get into my blood stream so I will eat it with a thankful heart that I can pick and choose and be thankful I donít have too run out and kill my neighbors cat, although at times I would like to do that, I still would not like to eat old Tom. In everything give thanks, it could be worse.
So I am going to have eggs, bacon, raisin bread and honey and a glass of milk and thank the Lord that I have it, and right after that I am going to forget that I just ate miss piggy. But thatís just me, you guys go ahead and have your veggieís and if you are good I will post my recipe for sheep herder soup sometime, of course hiding it well into a conversation on Adventism so as not to upset Richard. Now that is some good veggie soup.

If it's any consolation, River, there hasn't been a case of Trichinosis in the U.S. from U.S. meat since about 1940. You're safe---and that pig ain't!! |

Bring 10 cups water to a boil, add chicken soup base. Chop all veggies and add to water. Add tomato sauce, and seasonings. Simmer for 2 hrs. You can vary the amount of veggies if you want to add more, it's ok.

A vegetable soup! No sheep parts? I was afraid you were going to have something (ahem) unusual in the soup.
Psst, Colleen, you'll have to bring Richard up my way to the Testy Festy in Virginia City in March. Mighty tasty if you don't pay attention to what you're eating! Even my daughter liked it until she found out what it was. Then I was a dead man!! |

Bill,
Up here in Montana us Rednecks have the Testicle Festival every summer. I have never attended and have no desire to venture out and try any tasty nuggets! You are a brave man!
I wonder what Loma Linda or Worthington Foods would call their product mimicing these cuts of meat?
In good taste,
Denise |

Hi all
River I have to agree with you wholeheartedly- though I have never eaten pig- it certainly is not because I'm still in bondage. My mind has been poisoned and my stomach is weak- unfortunately.
I have to believe the Bible when it states that EVERYTHING IS GOOD TO EAT- with thanksgiving being sanctified by prayer- in light of that, and even with my nutrition training; I could care less what crabs do in the ocean- they could clean the entire atlantic it doesn't make a difference----because I trust my God and His power is not limited to the germs in the sea or on land for that matter.
If God thought that the crabs and pigs should not be eaten to this day then he would certainly have cautioned us against it.
When you really think about it- everything in this world is contaminated- but for the grace of God we would all be dead.
People can - if they choose make the most healthful choices for themselves(if they know what that is ofcourse) for some people it's being vegetarian, for others its just fish etc.
No one (and this is what Paul is talking about) should make anyone feel guilty about the food choices they make-------because I tell you this - if I were stuck on a desert island and had nothing else to eat to survive - you better believe my sensitive stomach would become tough real quick.
Let us be careful about the way we speak about what some people do actually eat. I have heard enough of it in the adventist church and personally I'm real tired of it.
I have eaten shrimp and I can't wait to try lobster, crab and all the rest of it.
One thing I realize is that for me to hold back is really showing a lack of faith and we are cautioned to do everything in faith.
God Bless
Al-Nadean

Denise, they grind 'em up real fine and simmer them in a tomato sauce with onions, garlic, sage and who knows what. They put the sauce on pasta along with garlic bread. Add a glass of Merlot and I'm a happy man!
Iced shrimp is one of my favorites. One of my wifes employers had a Christmas party last night and I must have put away at least twenty iced shrimp. Cold, sweet and dipped in cocktail sauce for extra bite. |

AMEN!!
Al-Nadean, I agree that I have heard enough about food in the SDA church. I am careful around my youngest sister as she will let me know what has pork and so she may be one of those weak ones.
But with my oldest sister, on our cruises, I enjoyed Shrimp and Lobster and crab cakes.
I just asked God to bless the food before I ate it.
It is late and I need to go to be.

Denise,
I recall growing up enjoying a Loma Linda delicacy called "Tender Bits". We had them fried in brewer's yeast.
As a Meat substitute "Tender Bits" now takes on a whole new meaning in light of the tasty nuggets found at the Montana festival.
Bon appetit,
Randy |

I am a city girl from Southern California, so I am not familiar with Prairie oysters, cowboy caviar, etc. Please let me know what those things are as I like eating adventures since I found that I can eat anything as long as I ask God to bless it.

Well now I just don't know bout that Diana.... you may like em and then again you may not....
That cowboy caviar (etc.) would be what's left over after the bull calves are turned into more manageable steer calves. These things aren't everyone's "cupotea".  |

JD, yep, that's what I'm talking about. Except, up in Virginia City they are using sheep and it's shipped in from Australia/New Zealand.
Yeah, kind of amazing where a Triscuit can take you and what you can put on it.... |
