Pig Feet
A. Chaney
Larry's Cornbread story brought back a lot of memories and i decided to tell ya one too. This is a true story and it happened back in 89." My wife is a city girl through and through. Mom and I were fixing dinner one afternoon and we decided to make a big pot of Pinto Beans and Pig Feet. Not pickled pigs feet, just regular ole feet you get in the fresh meat market. Now my wife absolutely loves pinto beans and was looking forward to dinner. As she ate her big bowl of beans, she kept coming across a bone ever now and then. I'm not sure how she missed seeing the feet in the beans when she fixed her plate, but she did. She finally asked, "what's all the bones doing in the beans?" I told her they were pig's feet and the look on her face was priceless! What?, she asked. Again, I replied Pig's feet. Well, started turning green around the gills and I thought she was gonna sure nuff, upshuck. She was a little tiffed and mumbled something along the lines... "You folks will eat anything!!!"
Ha, Haaaaa! Fir the longest time after that, she would always ask exactly what is in this, before she would eat!
I used to pull her leg by going and find real neat stuff to put in the shopping buggy. One time, I found a big package of Chicken feet and laid it over in the buggy. She looked it over real good and asked me what I was going to do with that! I'm gonna boil them and then deep fry them. NOT fir me you ain't! Was her reply.
You can take the girl out of the city, but you can't take the city out of the girl!
