You are correct. I wasn't getting down to the millimeter. Although
where does the pig's stomach end up in that scenario?

I know in Lancaster County it is stuffed and baked. I thought in the
Soul Food culture it might end up with the small intestine.

(still simmering with resentment over not being offered stuffed
stomach at a convention in Lancaster 2 years ago.)

Offal for all!
