    Yeah, down in the marshes, about 20 miles from the Gulf. Not a Piney Wood rooter. Just live with the mosquitoes and hurricanes.

    I'd heard about them all my life, but never had any.

    So,,,, one time I got some, after consulting with a couple folks who claimed to like them.

    I couldn't hang with cooking them. Fan in the window blowing outside & all. I couldn't finish the 'preparations' for this delicacy.
    On top of that, I had to listen to a bunch of 'yackety-yak' from Mrs. Winger about how bad they stunk up the house for a couple of days.

    Another one I couldn't get down is menudo-- that Mexican soup made from tripe.
    It was like chewing on chunks of pork fat flavored bubble gum.

    If you eat some good menudo, made with chitterlings and hominy, its good. I've had both bad and good. Cooked right, seasoned right, delish. The greasy, thin stuff they try to pass off for menudo is supposed to be THE cure for hangovers. Visualizing that with how I felt, at the time, all I can think of is prayers in front of the porcelain god.

    Winger ed: cooking indoors is great, think of burners and coleman stoves to be used outside.

    Sounds like chewing on chicken soup made from 2+ year old layers, when the chickens got too old to lay eggs some of them ended up in the stock pot.

    All day simmer and the meat had the consistency of shoe leather, the skin could have been used for vulcanizing inner tube patches. The kind of patch you used the special clamp to hold the patch on with the thermite cup that you placed on top and lit. Just awful stink but those patches held.

    Yup, that skin could have been used for those kinds of patches.

    But the stock was delicious, and the dumplings were heavenly.

    So you fed the skin to the cat and watched it try and chew it up. The cat didn't have any better luck than us kids.

    We grew up eating those, before we ever heard the term Rocky Mountain oysters.
    When we were too little to wrestle the calves we were the powder monkeys.
    We'd take them and put them on the branding pot and let them cook til they popped then ate the soft middle.

    Piney Woods Rooter ... I haven't heard that reference in a coons age but I think it may be my Momma's side of the family . She came to live with a Cajun Aunt in Louisiana , (my mom's mom passed when she was a little girl and her daddy couldn't take care of all the kids) she grew up and lived in Louisiana, after WWII she met and married my Cajun Dad and so by marriage my mom became Cajun . She could even speak Cajun French .
    I was grown before I knew she was East Texas Piney Woods born ... she didn't talk about that side of the family very much but her older sister, who still lived in E. Texas , was a hoot ...drank beer and cursed like a sailor ... she was my favorite aunt... Piney Woods Rooters , May God Bless Them All !

    Yeah. That is the German version of hog's head cheese. Same concept, very different taste.

    Will have to compare this one to my brother's recipe. Always looking for a good hog's head cheese recipe. Now do you have a good boudin recipe?

    Yeah, Piney Wood Rooter is definitely a different breed. I've known hundreds of them. If you follow their law, they give you the shirt off their back or help you in any way. Not to their liking, short shrift. Law abiding(except for game or alcohol laws), Bible thumping, Good people. Some fall off the wagon, at times. Good, solid people, just don't like a lot of interference in their way of life. Very clan like. Look up the Shelby County War. Like the Hatfield and McCoys.
