Heart to Hearth Cookery

Repairing the Stomach

I have cleaned many pig stomachs and that is a program demonstration by itself.  It requires the removal of fat, the use of salt, many washings in water until the odor is more pleasant, and finally the removal by hand of the rugae (the inner wall of the stomach with many furrows).  The task is not easy to do without having some tears of the outside membrane.  Before filling the stomach casing with sausage, potato and onion, these tears must be mended.  I am using linen twine for the job.

My next scheduled classes are a chocolate workshop in February and hearth cooking class in March.  Visit my website for more details:   www.hearttohearthcookery.com
