RE: Meat cutters

When I was ten, both my parents got laid off in Cleveland Ohio, so we moved to the country where we could raise our own food and animals. We killed the cow, pig, chicken and cut it up ourselves.

Of course I was too young to do much. I did chomp chickens heads off while my mom held them, and built fires under a huge cast iron pot in the yard to boil water that we used to dip the chickens in to make plucking feathers easier. We used the same boiling pot to de hair a pig. My job was to pour boiling water over an area and scrape the hair off. We made sausage and hamburger in the kitchen with a hand grinder clamped to the kitchen table. You put chunks in and pushed it down with a wooden plunger while you hand cranked. The ground meat went into a bucket on a chair.

Trust me, those weren't the good old days, but I know where meat comes from and it's not the supermarket.
