Hog Killing up north separated the Germans from the Scots/Irish Comments about: Reminiscing: Thanksgiving and Hog Killing by George Rice. From a Northerner Among us George's account squares with my memories of those long gone days, with a few exceptions. In my northern area, "hog killing days" came a bit earlier in the year. Our hogs were not shot but were captured by the younger men and then their throats (the hogs, not the young men's) were slit. It was at this point that the "men were separated from the boys" or more accurately the Germans from the Scots/Irish. As the throat was slit, the Germans would catch the hot blood in tin cups and pass it around as nectar while the Erse would discretely turn their backs. As adventuresome and inquisitive as I was as a young'un, I never had a hankering to try it and my stomach still has a slight rumble at just the thought of it.
