I obviously slept in, or I would have smelled the fragrance of pork earlier!
When I managed a Wrangler Jeans plant in the far northeastern North Carolina town of Windsor, I used to have to give many of my ladies a couple of days off the first several really cold days of late fall/early winter for hog killing time at their family farms. This was peanut country and those hogs rooted in the peanut fields all year.
When I married, my father-in-law owned some hogs. I have written previously about getting tangled up in the electric fence surrounding the hog compound and thinking I was being attacked by a nest of mad snakes!
I love them cracklins. Back in the 80s, I used to take a crew of fellas from Wilson, NC down to Darlington to cook pigs for the media and sponsors and drivers. Last time I saw Fireball Roberts' brother, Tommy, he was wearing a Wrangler Southern 500 Pig Pickin' tee shirt.
My mentor at Wrangler in Wilson had a son who ate a souse sandwich for lunch every day. I could not do that.
My father-in-law made homemade sausage and that I dearly loved, as well as the tenderloin biscuits for breakfast that my wife fixed. Haven't tried any of those ears, feet, snouts or a few other parts (knowingly), but I do love my Vienna sausages.
When I lived in Wilson it was difficult to keep me away from the BBQ establishments operated by the Parkers, Bill's and Cherry's. Love that "whole hog" que!

Note that the boat sponsor had changed by 1993. That dog food sponsor, Chatham, was based in Siler City, NC, home of "Winding" Wayne Andrews and family!

WRAL-TV has an old episode of a 1993 Southern Sportsman show, but when I try to post it there is an error and I delete it. This is the clip I've had trouble posting:
