The first pig roast I ever went to was in southern Ohio, along the banks of the Ohio River back in the mid 70's.  Can't recall their names, but they dug a pit, filled it with coals, laid a spit over top and stuck a pig on it.  Basted that suckling all night and day.  Along with this roasted pig was still in the husk sweet corn, potatoes, turtle, rabbit, and other various wild games and home grown vegetables.  O, yes, tubs filled with ice, cold drinks, and beer scattered about the party area.  The band played bluegrass country. When I say I'll try any thing once, this is the kind of "thing" I have in mind. It was delicious. O, yes, if my mother knew I was at such a party back then, she would have killed me.

Found in a recipe box from the late 1960's.  A Sausage Loaves Recipe If you are clipping new recipes for your 1969 recipe file, you will love our sausage loaves and hard boiled eggs.  This could very well be a brunch or a supper dish, or if you add a salad of Boston lettuce, tomato eighths, and cucumber slices with an oil and vinegar dressing.  It's a good hearty supper that needs only warmed crispy crackers.  If no meal is a complete meal at your house without a dessert, make it a warm rice pudding with light cream or a chocolate pudding with a topknot of whipped topping.  Chocolate pudding comes out of a can now as well as being made up from a powder and milk.  There are two brands on the market.  One is a product of Bounty, a Campbell Soup company, and the other brand is General Mills' own Betty Crocker.  If you haven't tried these puddings you have missed some good eating. So let's say that your menu for this supper consist of individual sausage loaves, a salad, crisp crackers, a glass of milk and a pudding.  Certainly falls in the budget category of goods, and to my way of thinking sounds like very good eating. 12 double crispy crackers 1 package bulk sausage or 1 pound of sausage 1 egg lightly beaten 1/4 cup of milk 2 tablespoons minced onion 1/2 cup peeled and minced tart apples 2 hard cooked eggs. Between sheets of waxed paper, roll crackers into fine crumbs.  Mix well with sausage, egg, milk, onions, and apples.  Divide into four individual meat loaf pans, 4 1/2 x 2 1/3 x 1 1/2 inches, lined on the bottoms only with foil.  Press down evenly, but gently.  Place in a shallow baking pan to take care of any grease that may spill over.  Bake in preheated moderately hot oven (350 degrees) for about 25 minutes, or until firm on top and drawing away from sides.  Pour off any excess grease, remove from pans.  Remove foil.  Garnish tops with sliced hard cooked eggs.  Makes four servings.  I like to sprinkle paprika on hard cooked egg slices.  It gives them a nice color.  However, if you prefer scrambled eggs, you can serve scrambled eggs with the sausage loaves.
