Lean, mean meat Back in the 1950s, when you killed hogs, you cooked everything about it. You didn’t let anything go to waste. I had a neighbor, Mitt Snow, who was one of the best cooks in Surry County. One day I was down at her house on a visit. You didn’t go visit Mitt unless you walked through her kitchen. She said, “I want you to taste this lean meat.” I did, and she said, “Wasn’t that good?” I said that it was. Then she said, “You wouldn’t believe that was hog’s tongue, would you?” I didn’t think I would get back home. I told myself that I would never eat lean meat unless I know what it is.
