When I was a kid I used to work for this old guy on occasion. You all know the type- Mid 70's, 5'7", scrawny, enormous hands, wild white hair, could lift a 100 lbs bag of grain under each arm and almost sprint up a mountain side! Had a little farmstead back in the woods. His livestock were all as docile as could be. At butchering time he'd be scratching a hogs forehead and talking to the animal and vwip! In would go the sticking knife and out would come the blood. More times than not the hog would sort of stand there looking a little confused and drop over dead. No ear to ear cuts for this guy, he'd stick them and the knife would leave a slit maybe an inch and a half long going lengthwise with the body. I've never seen anyone else do it that way, but I did see pictures ion an old USDA bulletin outlining the lengthwise cut.

It makes sense to me. Very,very few people in the states cook like our grandparents did. We've lost the knowledge of slow cooking, even a crockpot is warmer than some old methods.
