I remembered what else. Devilled eggs.

Probably. It didn't bug us at all, but there was one woman who
heard it and was a little creeped out. Didn't stop her from eating,
though.

I remembered something else we had there, garlic bread.

My mother always named her sheep too. My brother's many
years of "show" lambs were always named Charley, though. I
had a friend at the time who loved eating my mother's lamb,
but didn't want to eat "anyone she knew".


Practice safe eating - always use condiments

I think because I grew up seeing lambs slaughtered once or twice a
year (when we'd go get them), I don't mind it much. We also go
"harvest" our eggs from some chickens and ducks a neighbor has. They
are amazing. A friend of mine in high school had a cow named Sir Loin.

LOL! That's very practical. My mother bought some piglets
and named the runt "Sausage", because that was his destiny.

Too funny! Now that we have the extra freezer and extra fridge, we
are looking into buying a pig for slaughter. We buy lamb that way, and
our meat market will do custom slaughtering for a very reasonable price.
We could name ours Bacon.

Try to support 4H or FFA "growers" when you buy. The money
they get from the auctions usually go to (future) college
tuitions.

We did/do! Our friend's son that we buy lambs from is a 4Her.
