    Ricardo,

    Is that pernil? or is it the leg?

    Isn't Pernil the shoulder?

    My Fiancee is PR, Her Mom makes it all the time and I never saw one that big.

    Sal

    Pernil as I know it is the back leg, which is bigger than the shoulder (front). Maybe in PR they call the shoulder pernil...

    In Italy we make Capicolla out of the shoulder and from the rear legs.

    My uncle in Campobasso, Italy raises two pigs every year and slaughters them for all their meat.

    Capocolla is made from the top of the pigs neck. Check the meaning in Italian.

    Capo is top or head; colla in this case taken from callare means collar hence capocolla. It may be a regional thing and was bastardized over years here in America.

    Bless your heart Troy. Here's to hoping that you don't have T-day via a can. From what my sis told me, it's not all that bad, considering. Then again, that was last year in the green zone and I have no idea where you will be.

    Happy Gobble day Troy! [from half way around the world.]

    Troy, if you DO get a canned Turkey, bring one home for me. I'll serve it up for Christmas and Logan (my 8 year old) can learn a little about the 'real' world.

    Matter of fact, bring me a couple MRE's, they boy is a twig, need to put some meat on his bones.

    I miss you brotha, more than you know, and I'm thankful the friendship.

    Cheers,
    Russ

    ****, I'll send you some......

    MRE's have come a LOOOONG way. Some of them are edible if not actually pretty good. The heaters they have now (put the meal in a package...add water...instant heat) are a big help. When in doubt...always go with the vegetarian ones. They are usually 'newer' and the pasta ain't bad. About the same as, say, chef boyardee.

    My grandfather used to by suplus C-rations and take them for his lunch at work. I actually thought they weren't bad at all. Better than MRE's for sure.

    This is our 2nd year with Turducken. What is your Turducken Stuffing?, The first year one had cajun sauage in it, it was a little too much. This year we got no sauage, all corn meal based stuffing.

    Last year the Turducken lets out a lot of oil while cooking. Two hours before the end we drained the oil and flipped it over to crisp up the other side. It worked like a charm.

    Everyone enjoyed it, it's so moist and juicy.

    HTD!!!

    Sal

    I'm not sure what the two different types of stuffing were, but man it was good! My mother got it made by a local butcher here, a transplant from New Orleans, and he makes them all fresh and to order. Like you said, moist and juicy, done in a roasting bag, tender and delicious.

    Had mixed greens, okra, dirty rice, salad, creamed onions, pineapple casserole, and jalapeno cheese grits along with it. Bread pudding with rum sauce for dessert.

    Time for a coffee and a little after dinner beverage.
