I forget which city but somewhere in Greece the defenders dissuaded an attackers war elephants by dangling a live (and very pissed off) pig from the top of a outer wall. Actually coating their backs with pitch and lighting them ablaze and releasing them may not have been done like people think. What if that pig turns and runs through your own ranks instead? Pigs succumb to arrows the way most things do too it should be noted.

Traveling during wartime with pigs is probably not easy. People will want to eat them. Sure would be a choice gig though, being the war pig handler. Let everyone else tangle with those Goths and Celts while you secure the rear, protect that delicious Legionnaire Chris P. Bacon.

Romans found out elephants panic at the smell of horse blood, so killing an animal that's already a component of war and travel? Way easier. Much less tasty though.
Good chance some campaigns included pigs as walking food anyhow. You could leave home with piglets, let them eat garbage, and you'll have 400lb of meat by the time you get a few months in. The discovery that elephants hate them might have been a happy accident.

Toss em in a bowl with water and a little vinegar. The vinegar will kill the spores. Rinse em in a colander after a while. The vinegar will evaporate when they dry so you won't taste it. Won't keep them from going mushy though.


This is good advice for things you buy at the store and for what you forage. Even stuff that looks clean will often have particles of pollen, dirt, lint, maybe super small bugs hiding away on it. I use a large prep bowl with a lot of very cold water. Full cup of white vinegar. Sometimes its crazy what is left floating and swirling around in the bowl. Little flies. Sand. Tiny worms. Bits of decomposing plant parts.

More advice: invest in a salad spinner. Getting your leafy stuff really cold, crisp and clean makes such a difference.

We then layer it in large tupperware bins with a few paper towels. It goes a long time that way.

I have tiny plants growing out of the gutter around my trunk. I can handle it. My mobile gutter garden.

Well, I don't really know. I just use my hand to "strain" things I soak first.
