OT: Initiation

Post by Machado »

Gentlemen:
Found this picture yesterday. My son at age 8 and a half with his first pig, killed with a Taurus M-TA in .38 SPL, bullet was Lyman's old 35895 with the gas check indent milled off, on top of 6 grains of old Unique, for approximately 1,100 fps. First shot went harmlessly through the year, which prompted the piglet to turn course and run directly away from my kid, target angle zero; the second shot went through the base of the skull and out the jaw, distance fewer than 20 meters. Just to make AMBRACOL drool, I will say that I roasted it over a coal pit and then pururuca. Good pinga was there too.

Good pic that'll be a treasure someday. I wish I'd have thought to carry a camera on my son's first hunts.

Machado, good work raising that boy! Good shooting on his part with the follow-up shot.

A friend made what he called pururuca for us once. It was what we call pork rinds here in the USA.

What is pururuca when cooking a whole pig?
Kind regards,
Tycer

Thank you, friends.
Tycer, pork rind is what we call sow's belly with meat in it, sliced thin, then salted and deep fried in bacon fat until crisp.
Pururuca is produced by bathing the freshly cooked pig - skin and all - in very, very hot oil. I pour the hot oil over the roast and it crisps immediately. The oil slides over the roast (it's so hot it won't stick) and onto the roasting pan. It is done minutes before serving.
My cardiologist won't hear of either option. But since it's an issue involving mind over matter, she minds, but it doesn't matter.

Man, that sounds good!

Government office attracts the power-mad, yet it's people who just want to be left alone to live life on their own terms who are considered dangerous.

History teaches that it's a small window in which people can fight back before it is too dangerous to fight back.

Yes, I treasure this photo. Hunting is no longer allowed in my country. My kid - now 31 - veered towards shotgunning, but he still has that gun and shoots it with the samest load.
