Greek lemon spinach lentil stew and WW bread (made 4 loaves today), sliced with a spread of walnut butter mixed with honey and cinnamon.
Maybe not the Empire State Building but pretty tall for Niagara Falls.You mist mean the Parkway Apartments, which is now the Parkway Condominiums. The only other buildings that could be called high rises would be the Hotel Niagara and the United Building. Niagara Falls never had much of a skyline to speak of.
Why was he selling whistle pigs? To eat or as pets?I didn't know you were from Niagara Falls! I spent the first 28 (miserable) yeas of my life there. Then I moved on to bigger and better things. I went back in 2018 for two years to take care of my father. Nothing much changed except Page's had changed hands twice but still couldn't stay in business, there was some guy with a push cart selling whistle pigs in the Pine Plaza parking lot, LaSalle high school became a Walmart (People laugh when I tell them I went to high school at Walmart) and most of the 'good' stores are in LaSalle now. I hated that place in the 70s and I still hate it today!
Whistle pig = a hot dog stuffed with cheese and wrapped in bacon. If you want to keep it as a pet, go ahead, but it will start to stink after a week or so.Why was he selling whistle pigs? To eat or as pets?
It makes me think of the Beverly Hillbillies and granny's possum stew or whatever it was she made with possum.I can well imagine the whistle after drinking whiskey.
taxy and any others that have the older versions of Joy of Cooking. There are lots of recipes for wild critters from Possum to racoons to who remembers? Think squirrel is in there too.
I don't remember a recipe for possum, but there weren't any where we lived in the log cabin, so I may just not have paid attention. We did use the butchering instructions for rabbit and deer. They also gave instructions for skinning. I don't remember if they had a recipe for porcupine, but porcupine was delicious. Cook it by any recipe that works for pork, but make sure to follow trichina safety rules.I can well imagine the whistle after drinking whiskey.

That would be the 1975 edition. There were no editions between 1975 and 1997.I think my JOC is from mid-1980's. I'm pretty sure there is a recipe for bear and several other wild game.
