Making Mangalitsa PANCETTA!

[@jackkeeble9272]

Thanks for the video son 👍

[@McGieHomesteadAdventures]

No problem 👍

[@JimmyOverstreet]

Micah, you sure ain't afraid to take a recipe and try it. That's what i like about your video's. It sure looked good buddy.

[@McGieHomesteadAdventures]

I do love trying these things! It’s really good stuff!

[@shannons1301]

Looks good, it wouldn't be bad to follow in Franks foot steps, it would take you straight to the bacon 😂😂😂😂😂

[@McGieHomesteadAdventures]

😂😂😂😂😂😂 very true!!

[@Telluridepilot]

You did awesome. One suggestion in the future is to slice it as near to paper thin as possible. There is a special knife that’s similar to a vegetable peeler. Pancetta is a meat that you place on your tongue and it literally melts on your tongue. Great video !

[@McGieHomesteadAdventures]

Ok that’s a great point! Thanks!

[@Telluridepilot]

@@McGieHomesteadAdventures you bet. Just started watching your channel regularly. You have a great family and love your content. Thanks for sharing !

[@southernstylehomesteadAL]

I love this channel always something different never saw so much different content

[@McGieHomesteadAdventures]

Glad you enjoy it! Hope you feel better soon brother!

[@johnpearson4899]

That looks good to me. After what we've been taught, it's hard to believe that any kind of fat is good for us, but it is. The roof corners on my grandpa's smokehouse roof were low like that. Cuts on our foreheads almost became a family trait. 😂👍

[@McGieHomesteadAdventures]

😂😂😂 I’m gonna have to bend the corners in🤣

[@MrOtis1956]

Two things I was shocked by about this video... 1. Frank did not let you use one of his secret stash bottles of Thunderbird wine for use, and.... 2. Frank did not bust out singing his cover of Dean Martin's... "That's Amore" after tasting it....... Thank you for sharing these moments with us....😊

[@McGieHomesteadAdventures]

Good point! Shocking!😂

[@acountryboycancookwarnack5290]

Both looks great...I think I told you about smoking salt in your smokehouse... Yeah I know it's hard to light..lol😂 I remember you doing just that, one time... That paprika you used. It may say smoked paprika. But it's like they drove it by a Smokehouse, at 90 miles an hour. Try a big container like you were using. Pour it out on a flat pan. Let it smoke several hours, in heavy smoke... Paprika were really retain the flavor of smoke. Cayenne pepper along with garlic both take up the smoke flavor. Thanks for the great video...

[@McGieHomesteadAdventures]

That’s really great ideas! Thanks brother!!

I just love this channel. I don’t know where this second family came from? I think I’ve seen almost all the episodes, but I never saw where it was explained?

[@McGieHomesteadAdventures]

They are my next door neighbors! Best neighbors on planet earth!

Our friends down the road have Mangalista pigs. We harvested 2 about 250 lbs each. Made sausage, cubed and of course a bunch of lard. We might have to give this a go. Keep the Mangalista recipes coming! Not many people are fortunate enough to be able to have access to them tasty pigs. Thanks Micha from Middle Georgia! 👍

[@McGieHomesteadAdventures]

They are absolutely amazing pork! They have become my favorite!😎

My number one food is Italian I love it and they used a lot of pork and seafood don't know if you've ever heard of anchovies little sea creature very salty

[@McGieHomesteadAdventures]

I’ve actually ate them once…… I’m not against them!😂

Looks good. I've never thought about using wine to rinse a cure, gon'na have to try that.

Where can I find mangalista pigs at? I'm in martinsville va, and ain't many people heered of em???

[@McGieHomesteadAdventures]

I guess you can get them from me!

[@charlessavoie2367]

A very qualified butcher, having slaughtered and processed umpteen hogs. Never any trace of guilt harvesting any meat animal.

Very true words!

@@McGieHomesteadAdventuresA model of self sufficiency you are. I have a 36 year old nephew who has never worked, his father is 77 and still working. The nephew is waiting for me and my sister to die and he expects to inherit from us. Not a chance. I'll leave it to someone who isn't lazy and is doing good. Someday he'll regret all the laziness.

Brother Micah it’s Jeff from Pennsylvania did you ever try making cracklens from your fancy pig sorry I can’t spell mangalitza no brother Micah I know that’s old wine and your mother made. Is it still drinkable because you only use wine to marinate what you would drink and that’s why Chef say don’t use cooking wine because that stuff is disgusting and you know with you being a Christian and people go to judge, you saying about drinking wine if you do, you said if you I would say, are you without sin? If so, throw the first stone, then I would say Jesus was at a wedding and he made barrels of this stuff so I know you know the scripture I know you could handle it if people say you’re doing wrong you’re not doing any wrong you’re awesome brother God loves you and so do I

[@russpack6757]

Is there any meat in all that fat

[@McGieHomesteadAdventures]

Doesn’t matter to me. The fat has more nutrients anyway.

[@markpennella]

Because it's so jiggly and sloppy, is this why the old timers waited until the coldest day of the year to process their pigs?

[@McGieHomesteadAdventures]

That’s one reason. The lack of flies and no refrigeration was other reasons.

[@markpennella]

Yes, but why say, " wait until the coldest day of winter."?

[@McGieHomesteadAdventures]

There’s no sense in saying that unless you’re in southern Alabama 😂

[@Cutter-jx3xj]

Awesome video but after 42 yrs as a butcher I don't care if a ever see another carcass. From bison, elk, axis, red, or black buck. I am DONE 👍👍 I even gave all my knifes and stuff away

[@McGieHomesteadAdventures]

I can definitely understand that! That’s why I don’t do it for hire….. I’d get sick of it!
