Mom thought it to be too gross for her... And we're talking about the same woman who as a teenager buried melting Russian soldiers behind the barn...

 :O

Can you clarify this?

Stop for a sec and take a few moments to ponder on exactly what pigs stand in all day. :O

When the Interim Peace started on 13 March 1940 after The Moscow Peace Treaty was signed by Finland and the Soviet Union, the evacuated Karelians returned to their homes. The winter had been exceptionally tough and the Russians may have planned to bury their deep frozen fallen comrades some sunnier day. Whatever the reason, the Karelians found melting corpses in their backyards, which they then buried as quickly as possible. Behind the barn was a good place...

Mom then participated on trips to the now Russian Karelia several times around the turn of the millennium to locate the graves she had been digging, in order to get the MIA soldiers identified and properly buried.

My grandmom use to make an awesome Beef heart and kidney pie ( She and my grandfather were born and raised in the UK, came over here after WWII)  Loved that stuff...she would actually make extra so my mom and dad could take it home for me...... One of those childhood foods id love to have again, but never will  :(  

Would love to try blood sausage.....but cant find it around here...you would think with all the Pennsylvania Dutch roots around here it would be easy, but its not

Those meatballs sound incredible, and i have about 50lbs of venison burger in the freezer....you have a recipe Danny?

Just make them myself really, ground venison and pork shoulder, mixed herbs fresh pressed garlic cloves and breadcrumbs.

I make big fat meatballs about 2 inches in diameter, and then fry them in a fairly dry hot pan until lightly charred. Then cook them ina tomato and red wine sauce in the slow cooker for a good few hours, then shred fresh basil over them and parmesan, they are pretty special with just a glass of wine and some good bread, or with pasta.

My oldest friend is an RSPCA Inspector pretty close to me so we don't really have an issue laying hands on fresh venison, we live in the sticks and he usually has to shoot a traffic damaged one fairly regularly.

Also means we can get shoulder which is ordinarily smashed by the bullet :old:
