[jbullard1]

......bet there ain't a handful of folks nowadays that know what real sow-belly-cracklins are, or how popular they were followin the great depression.

Applachian Hillfolk knew 'em, and knew 'em well.....you can still hear their arteries "cracklin" iff'n ya listen right real hard.....

Uncle Russ...

I still remember around the 1st of November at a good cold snap, we always had a hog killin, my mom and grandmother always cooked fried liver,kidney and onions in a heavy brown gravy with hand squeesed biscuits.
The cracklin's were one of the last things we had as the lard was rendered

I am going to try this soup
