I’m proud that this is my second post that combines both Guy Fieri and Smashmouth.

Brisket
Pork shoulder
Tongue pastrami

The nation of Brohemia held its first ever diplomatic gathering a few Saturdays ago with its Divisadero neighbors, Cincinasty’s Mike Winters and Thizzconsin’s Ben Emmrich (of dry ice fame). In lieu of cracking kola nuts, we broke out the Miller High Life and Grizz pooches, and explored ways to improve pork scarcity in the Western Addition of San Francisco. Recent recipients of a windfall of meat thanks to a hog butchery birthday gift the prior Friday, Mike and Ben provided all sorts of cuts - belly, knuckle, loin, picnic - that we smoked to perfection. As you can see from the awkward smiles, it was truly a day to remember.

Cool bro

The Donner Party Party

I’m providing food for my bud’s party this coming Saturday. Because the theme is the Sierra Nevada winter limiting the efficacy of a hunter-gatherer lifestyle, I’ll be doing dishes that would have been enjoyed at the famous Donner Party Christmas Dinner of 1846.

Ribs
Kidney beans with salt pork
Miner’s lettuce, hazelnut, currants, amaranth, nutmeg

re: cannibalism in the Americas - The reason we’ll be using pig in lieu of human meat: When Spanish settlers imposed religious sanctions on the native Americans of Mexico and Central America they banned pork because of its similarity to human flesh. They went as far as to ban amaranth too because it was consumed as part of the same religious rituals. Too bad because amaranth is full of protein, fiber, and iron.
