Abstract:

Although home hog slaughter is quietly fading into the past in many areas, the wide use of pork in the diet of Southerners is not. From the colonial period on, pork has been an important part of Southern agricultural economy and life. The hog killing and pork cookery help to distinguish this region and indeed families of farmers.
