Pork Chop.






[the Big Bad Wolf is theaching his three cub sons about the anatomy of a pig, with a chart showing such as well as the tasty bits of the creature]
Big Bad Wolf:
Ist das nicht ein sausage meat?
Three Little Wolves: Ja, das ist ein sausage meat.
Big Bad Wolf: Ist das nicht ein pigsen feet?
Three Little Wolves: Ja, das ist ein pigsen feet.
Big Bad Wolf: Ist das gut for schweiner stew?
Three Little Wolves: Dat ist gut for schweiner stew.
Big Bad Wolf: Ist das nicht ein curly cue?
Three Little Wolves: Ja, das ist ein curly cue.
Big Bad Wolf: Roasted pork, glass of schnapps, ham und eggs, porken chops, pigsen feet, sausage meat, little pigs ist gut to eat. All together now.

- The Three Little Wolves (1936-Disney's Silly Symphonies).




One of Chloe and Dylan favourite movies is a compilation of Disney's Silly Symphonies short animations from the 30s featuring the Three Little Pigs and their nemesis, the Big Bad Wolf. Each time Esther cooks porky chop for the family, a snippet of the dialogue from a scene showing the wolf teaching his three young cubs about the deliciousness of a succulent, nicely cook fresh pork always run about in my mind. The two kids are not so much into pork as their old man does. And if time and money permit, I love to visit those handful of Bierhaus with Esther in the city for a nice meal of sausages and roasted pork knuckles to go with some delicious wheat beer.
