[josh1578]

[shugemery]

@josh1578 That is right good....it was fun for us. Last night of a dang fine 8 night trip!

[TheNfields260]

i was so inspired by your trip to Linville that I took a solo 3 day 2 nighter a few months later. Thanks shug !

[shugemery]

@TheNfields260 Whoooo Buddy...hope it was a blast.

[TheNfields260]

i love this song shug !!

[shugemery]

@TheNfields260 Me too...one of my all time favorites. Thanks.

[bushbumming29]

if u can get past the gross factor cow tounge is pretty good. cook it like a roast with taters and onions and make sure to peel the skin with the taste buds off before u eat. its delicious. so is head cheese.

[shugemery]

@bushbumming29 M-m-m-m-m......makes me crave some potted meat!

[nohill4climber]

Hickery's pie irons sure make some pretty liver mush.

[shugemery]

@nohill4climber It sure does but he has the mush touch!

[kidballistic]

Maybe I smoked to much tonight, but I can see you guys doing the same things 20 years from now. I hope I get to see that. Keep it up.

[shugemery]

@kidballistic We sure hope to be.........fire it up))))

[BANGBANG73]

It won't come off!!! It won't come off!!!

It's like a potted meat milkshake...That is beyond nasty lol

[shugemery]

@BANGBANG73 Man did we have some big fun that day.

Thankee feller.

[jeffreyg69]

I had to laugh a little when I saw this, it brought back allot of memories... My Grandmother used to eat fresh pork brain quite often... She always scrambled hers in her eggs though... Maybe that is the trick to makin it not be so loud!!!! ;-)

[shugemery]

@jeffreyg69 Oh.....it needed eggs!

[jeffreyg69]

@shugemery .... That's the way my Grandmother did it,I never had the nerve to give it a try myself... My grandfather always said they were taught to use everything from the Hog, except the Squeal!!! Gotta leave it to those old time Appalachian Mountain people for their sheer will to survive...

[txcaleath]

I havent laughed that hard in a long time....better than your improvised netti pot

[shugemery]

@txcaleath ...and about as fun. Nasty but fun. Mission accomplished.

[2kargarage1]

Nice

[shugemery]

@2kargarage1 Thanks feller.

[salan3]

Lol Trust you!

We have Brawn over here in the UK. Thats really nice. but that pork brains in milk sauce looks really bad!!

[shugemery]

@salan3 Very, very bad!!!!!! Worse than jellied eels.

[HomeMadeHiker]

Most amazing cooking vid ever!!!!!!!

[shugemery]

@HomeMadeHiker ...unless you had to eat the head organ!!!! 'Preciate it.

[VampJack]

Wow , finally something nastier than my Wife Cooking - a can of Pork Brains lol

[shugemery]

@VampJack Top of the Nasty Heap!

[shugemery]

@dfproductions39 No....never do! It will slime your spoon...

[n2tech07]

Yum Yum livermush, I would have starved as child if not for livermush. I moved to Tennessee 4 years ago, Just recently Food City started carrying it. Just in case you are ever down this way. Excellent Video Happy Hammocking.

[shugemery]

@n2tech07 Cool. My Dad liked it cold. Got me loving it.

[spence0324]

Brains in a can are good but you HAVE to try the new brains in a pouch. More brainy flavor.

[shugemery]

@spence0324 We need more brains in our gobs and noggins.

[madogblue]

Why would anyone put such a thing into a can!????

[shugemery]

@madogblue We wonder who buys that...other than us.

[chinnmusic]

if you send me your adress I would like to send you a dvd collection of early bluegrass

1930s - 19 50s

You and your boys can keep it alive

[shugemery]

@chinnmusic That is mighty dang nice of you! vI will PM you. Thankee

[stefchollet]

OMG you guys are hillarious!!!! lool

[shugemery]

@stefchollet That was our serious side

[craiggulley]

why oh why did you keep eating that gross stuff! LOL

[shugemery]

@craiggulley In for a penny.....

[palletjack612]

Looks like lots of fun. I will have to check on mail order for them brains! Me an my cousins enjoy a foul snack at times ourselves. Thanks Shug!

[shugemery]

@palletjack612 Brain prices are rising....

[Mueychacha]

"wonder if i'd be smarter if i et dem brains"

[shugemery]

@Mueychacha So far....no.

[shMoulisko]

Oh my god! :-)

Try to fry some onion, put that brains inside and after a while put some eggs and blend it. You can spread it on the bread ;-)

[shugemery]

@shMoulisko We forgot all the extra condiments.

[ducedogs]

I was disappointed that no one took a swan dive into the pool at the falls. I mean if your tough enough to eat pigs brains wiff milk gravy a little swan dive ought to be a piece of cake.

[shugemery]

@ducedogs We are more canonballers....

[TroyDalton1965]

Well...now we know what they fried up in that cast iron skillet last year. "Looks like they fried'm up some vomit." Linville Gorge...PART 2... 8 Day Trip with Shug & Hickery (6:13) CLASSIC!!! Still makes me LOL.

[shugemery]

@TroyDalton1965 Worse than that!!!!!

[chinnmusic]

 Ralph Stanley& His Clinch Mountain Boys are alive and well ............sleeping in hammocks and whoopin it up.

I'll pass on pork brains...thx anyway

[shugemery]

@chinnmusic Mighty big pants to fill there! Ralph is stellar.....

Thankee

[ScoutsNOA]

Man pig brains, whats next Kulebiak?????? 

[shugemery]

@ScoutsNOA Ghaaaa.....that is the epitome of nasty.

[adaman04]

Shug, if times are tough brother, your loyal subscribers will pitch in a couple bucks for one-a-dem Pack-it Gourmet Meals fer ya….mmm hmmmm. Hahahaha j/k. At least they put it in “milk gravy” fer ya.

[shugemery]

@adaman04 Pack-it should do pork innards.

[adaman04]

@shugemery Chitterlings, pig brains and pickled pig feet with cornbread toasties!

[olddirt1965]

Thanks Shug! I laughed so hard watchin' you guys chokin' down those brains.

[shugemery]

@olddirt1965 The result we wanted!!!!!

[CampfireTalk]

Man, I'm hungry now! I bet Spam seems like filet mignon when you're eating pork brains : )

[shugemery]

@CampfireTalk Isn't Spam always like Filet Mignon or Chateau Brignon???? Whoooo...

[ekhaat]

Pork Brain??? Truly disgusting!!

Cheers

[shugemery]

@ekhaat Yes....nasty big time!

[hangemhigh2000]

You sing from the heart, it shines.

[shugemery]

@hangemhigh2000 I sure appreciate that. The backwoods bring me to a calm and peaceful place....rare for me!

[bilko1971]

Seems to me that brains ought to be ate with onions, milk is bred for tatoes. Everything can be ate with onions, just look at that there liver, its good eating with onions.

I said its good to see you boys enjoying the backwoods in Gods green earth.

[shugemery]

@bilko1971 Wish we had an onion then! Thanks sir

[MichiganTNP]

another great vid and they just keep getting better

[shugemery]

@MichiganTNP Whoooo Buddy!

[Trailtraveller]

Never heard of it...but you are still singing and smiling :-) I think something to use for MrBabelfish5 ?

[shugemery]

@Trailtraveller He may make it taste tasty...

[danderson8127]

"i'm a slug...sit and watch me go..."

- seriously - what are the brains traditionally eaten with?

yeah Trangia...

both bros have good genetics. thank you mom and dad.

kindly, yer fan, sbd (HF)

[shugemery]

@danderson8127 Eggs I think.

He was at my house a lot...and me at his!

[kc7fys]

That lump is the hippocampus--er, wait, it appears to be the hump-o-thalamus. Anyway, them brains are like smart pills. You'll blow the lid off the IQ test after that. Either that or you'll start votin' Democrat.

[shugemery]

@kc7fys It was a lumpy brew....like politics.

[Tancrad]

WHOOOO WEEEE milk Gravyyyyyyy

[shugemery]

@Tancrad I swannee.....milk gravy.

[unicoi10]

I prefer liver pudding. Eastern N.C. Style. By the way don't eat Bulk Sausage in a can.

[shugemery]

@unicoi10 I love it all! My Dad introduced me to it as a boy.

[MrJustjud]

Great Vid Shug! I think I'm going to puke..pork brains, liver something..nasty x 10 !!!

[shugemery]

@MrJustjud We bees nasty munchers...

[ATStrider]

From Babelfish5's great red beans and rice to Pork Brains to livermush? Your menu was as up and down as the Gorge. At least you ended with something good?

[shugemery]

@ATStrider I like that...up and down, up and down.

[Kmurray9244]

Gentlemen,

The blue grass was spectacular!

I watched it twice just for the music.

[shugemery]

@Kmurray9244 Glad you liked it. Jammin' some bluegrass takes ya' away.

[musiccitybluesguy]

Hey Shug, YOU DA MAN! That line in Rambo, "eat stuff that would make a billy goat puke"... Rambo got nothin' on you bro. I bow humbly to your superior survival manliness...

[shugemery]

@musiccitybluesguy Hickery made me do it!

[Newton240sx]

good lord

[shugemery]

@Newton240sx I concur sir.

[jceast76]

I think I wet myself just now. Too funny Shug!

[shugemery]

@jceast76 Oh No!!!!!

[adkmcmahon]

Fella's, pork brains and liver mush??!? What's wrong with Ramen??

[shugemery]

@adkmcmahon To crunchy.......

[YuddaLevy]

i would have thrown away the plate and spork !!!!!!!!

[shugemery]

@YuddaLevy Spoon is still slimy.....

[lilricky2515]

Got nervous when I saw the slug, thought it was going to be turned into some sort of gumbo!

[shugemery]

@lilricky2515 Slu-Gumbo

[BigAl1048]

- where men are men and _______ are - scared !

[shugemery]

@BigAl1048 Pigs!!!

[PerceptionModified]

Beautiful scenery, but the pork brains? Hmmm, what have you got against ravioli?

You guys really made me laugh, so thank you.

[7Crowsfighting]

Laughed till there were tears in my eyes. I'm going to have the biggest smile on my face for sometime. Many thanks for this gem!

[lilricky2515]

[MBlackford100]

@MBlackford100 It was kind of a highlight....in a weird way.

[ajason69]

@ajason69 Oh.....way....way too much.

[mrriprock2]

Toooo Funny! Simply the best. Still smiling. Wished I could have bumped into you that week. Was planning on making the trip to the Gorge, but life responsibilities got in the way. Darn you life.

[shugemery]

@mrriprock2  We would have greeted you in the Gorge fashion...

[tankmdg]

omg i think that slug would have tasted better

[fustratedfisher]

@tankmdg I was thinking the same thing.

[fustratedfisher]

@tankmdg i was thinking the same thing

[shugemery]

@tankmdg Don't think we did not consider it...

[drinxs]

Hey shug..how about pigs feet or chicken in a can!

[shugemery]

[1timby]

@shugemery I'm from the home of the Mighty Mountaineers......

Nothing like a little Pon Haus for breakfast. They don't know what scrapple is down here in the lone start state....:(

[TheKevinDee]

[shugemery]

@TheKevinDee I know...Roses make beef tripe in milk in a can too!

I gave him that Trangia kit as a gift. He is just using bits and pieces.

[gcstorm1]

[shugemery]

@21stcenturyphantom We hope to come over for jellied eels!

[1jump2many]

Whooooooo Buddy, nothing like some liver mush with a side of pork brains in milk gravy to bring some sickness to Sector 7. Bojangles, now that made me hungry for some dirty rice! ~Ooey Gooey was a slug, a mightly slug was he, he crawled along a railroad track, a train he did not see, ooey gooey..........~ Sorry, I couldn't help posting that old children's poem. :-)

[shugemery]

@1jump2many Thanks for that....

[huguenot67]

MMMMM, I likes me the pork brains with biscuits and mustard.

@huguenot67 Yessir....
