I remember the night Dad slaughtered a bear on the dining room table. Best steak I ever ate.

Do you remember how the boiling berries smelled up the kitchen??? We didn't slaughter a bear on table but my uncles did butcher one of our hogs when I was about six years old. They hung it in the tree in our side yard. I watched them gut it ....Fatback is not steak but it sure good on a cool South Carolina morning.
