California's Central Coast Amid The Insanity
Long ago. and far away in a hot, humid and smelly land, a steel can of Hamm's could be had for a piece of soggy five-cent paper script, or by the case for $1.25 of the same soggy paper script. Tax-free, of course. Can't remember ever having any since.

I have a Hamm's in the fridge. Been there since before I got the MRSA, that left me with tachycardia and a fib.
Afraid to drink anything, with my new conditions and meds. But maybe one day I may crack one open again.

Hamm's made a brief appearance in the Detroit area, in the late 60's early 70's. Didn't last very long. Never ran across it again. I remember the slogan...............From the Land of Sky Blue Waters.

The price of a 30 pk. of Hamm's is at an all time high of $13.99. That pales in comparison to other people's beer that they think is worth a buck or two a bottle. A Boomba of Hamm's and pizza is a delight.

There is a 5 gallon carboy of a Golden Ale up in the kitchen that will get bottled next week. My wife likes to make beer but does not like taste of beer, so we have a division of labor so to speak.

Lived on the Lynnhaven inlet off of Chesapeake Bay in the late 50s. My brother and I would
bring home a bucket of blue crabs that we caught and Mom made dinner. My first time at
being the family food provider at about 3rd grade level. Very cool feeling and great crabs.
So, why mess with the chicken breasts? I'd love to have just the crabs, straight up.

This post really rang a bell for me. Lynnhaven and Blue Crabs! The name of my home town is: Lynn Haven. I live waterfront on a bayou with a dock and boathouse in my backyard. I have crab traps anchored off the dock catching Blue Crabs the year round!
Blue Crabs are the best tasting crabs of all. Live ones are the freshest and bestest.

Wife is making elk meatloaf for dinner. My friend just eats the steaks and roasts, gives the ground stuff away. I never tell him anything about what we do with his elk, or we wouldn't get anymore!

I have some comments and a question.
The only time I have had Hamm’s beer was when I was in the Viet Nam theatre. Haven’t ever even seen it for sale anywhere else.
I often had no option to chill my beer so I had to drink it warm. It seems that all of the American beers were too carbonated to drink warm. They would spray out when opened, losing half of it. I found that Heineken wouldn’t do that, so that is what I would drink when I could get it.

What is kohlrabi?

FWIW. I like cabbage and sauerkraut and Brussel sprouts. Kohlrabi tastes like eating dirt to me.

apples, blueberries, cheese, peanut butter and ice cream -- now we know what the Space Station guys eat.
kohlrabi. Looks like what I was served in Germany for breakfast and no I didn't like it. Like St Pat green mashed potatoes with NO flavor. Very interesting looking plant though.
Beer can pyramid- had one in Panama that went to the top of the umbrella. And it was a TALL patio table umbrella, don't remember any Hamms though. Ship carried about a ton of beer and wine in the reefers, we got it free. Steak too. Maybe the Div. payed a bit for it. Ship had lots of parties.

Smothered (Wild boar) Pork Chops!!

Okay okay, I see wild boar on the Food Net Work occasionally, and now this lovely meal. This isn't really boar then is it? I mean even a domestic hog aint worth eating iffen it still retains its cojones. So do people eat only young wild hogs, and sows, and the term "Wild Boar" is used to differentiate it from domestic pork or are those rank stink boars actually edible?

Next question. Domestic pork has been cleaned up so dramatically that chefs are serving pork medium rare. In the old days of pigs eating any and everything the risk of trichinosis was ever present. Bears supposedly can carry trichinosis and I assume wild hogs must also. Is that the case?

Obviously catching and castrating young wild hogs would be problematic. Perhaps a new shooting sport could solve that problem? Shooting the nuts off of feral hogs to promote better pork in the future?
