Excellent. I really like the documentaries Ole Miss and the Southern Foodways Alliance are putting out. Here's one on Benton's Country Hams in Madisonville, TN: http://vimeo.com/33223703

My family used to cook a whole hog every 4th of July. It's a lot of work sitting up all night and tending a fire. Loads of fun though. I'm gonna build a pit at my river house when I retire up there next year and cook a whole hog at least once a year for friends and family...maybe a goat too, who knows.

I know a few people up in that area that cook whole hog occasionally. Its a tradition that has been passed down but slowly dying away.
I was by there this past April and wondered where Ricky was. RIP
Hopefully someone will continue Scott's legacy. Scott's has been my favorite BBQ joint since the early 60's when it was just a shack that cooked for sales on Friday and Saturday. When they ran out it was wait till next week. Old man Scott bought up a cache of surplus potatoe chip bags to use rather than brown ones. Everyone knew it was Scott's without asking by those chip bags.

That is the coolest thing about pigs. They eat roots, grain, grass, slop...pretty much anything. Then they turn it into BACON.
