“I dig pig,” says Tanner Latham of WFAE-FM. He recently led a group of co-workers to Historic Brattonsville, in York County, S.C., for an old-fashioned hog-butchering [2] – once a common sight in hog country at this time of year. Historical interpreters demonstrated the skills and activities of an 18th-century hog butchering.

Among those in on the action was Dan Huntley, sometimes known as Dan the Pig Man – a barbecue maven who has sold his wares at the Davidson Farmer’s Market.

Organizes gave “visitors a look at how 18th Century locals would have used as much of a pig as possible. There was obviously the salt curing and smoking,” Mr. Latham writes on the WFAE-FM blog, WFAEats [2].
