Andrew Tries Buckskin Tanning & Pig Brains | Bizarre Foods With Andrew Zimmern

Dwight's ham gets proper acclaim when Chef Travis Milton treats Andrew, Dwight, and Dwight's parents to a meal on the Muse family farm. A restaurateur striving to buck the stereotype of an unsophisticated South, Travis's recipes are a labor of love he shares with his honored guests. Dwight's ham gives a salty, fatty backbone to Travis's red cobb grits. Andrew and company also get to sample kilt salad (a mix of local greens with apple vinegar cider, pork, and bacon grease), cornbread and vinegar pie. With stomachs full of Travis's frontier feast, Andrew and Travis head to the farm of Alec and Tabea Fourman, where the couple is preserving traditional arts and crafts. Andrew gets his hands dirty when Alec teaches him how to tan buckskin, a labor-intensive craft that includes a bucket of warm pig brains to create a soft, supple hide. It's all hands on deck as the trio stretch out the hide before it's smoked. Once a vital frontier skill, hide tanning is now a tradition Alec proudly continues with beautiful crafts such as bags and moccasins.
