Oh sis’, it weren’t me. I read this story in a book one time. Matter of fact, it may have taken place in China. No, not China, Texas; the big’un, over seas.
And the burned down house was an accident, so I remember. And the pig got caught inside. So the story goes, the owner of the house found the pig and burnt his fingers when he touched the hot pig.
To ease his pain, he put a finger to his tounge, and the taste weren't bad. Sure, there were a few house burnings after that, until someone figured out a better way.
Myself, I got my Black Diamond!

Paddy darlin' do you have any recipes for bbq bull and baloney??
You are somethun.
Sis
I don't want to know what the farmer was thinking when the first pig was roasted on a spit!
Garlicky Ring Baloney
14 lb Boston butt
4 cup Water
3/4 cup Pickling salt
2 tbl MSG (optional)
2 tbl Cure *
3 tbl Sugar
4 tbl White pepper
8 tsp Ground corriander
1 tsp Nutmeg
1 tsp Allspice
1 1/2 tsp Paprika
2 tbl Fresh minced garlic from the jar, (These be giant heaping tablespoons)
4 cup Dry milk
Combine everything with the water..except the meat. Put the spiced water in the ice box while you cut up the meat to fit in the grinder.
Dump the spiced water on the meat strips and mix it well. Run the meat through the fine plate on the grinder and mix again till the liquid disappears and the fat and lean is dispersed evenly. Stuff into medium hog guts. Let the links rest uncovered in the icebox overnight..giving them an occasional shuffle. Next day hang em up if possible and smoke low and slow till the links turn nice and brown and hit 155 internal. Normally takes about 4-6 hrs at a temp of 180-190 degrees.
* Or use 3/4 cup of Tender Quick to substitute for the salt and the cure.
