A ritual which despite no longer being practiced out of necessity is kept alive - From the first gun shot at dawn, a small team of Cajuns begin to rapidly dismantle a hog whose parts are carved and passed in every direction. Hams hit the smoker, shoulders are tossed in pots of boiling water; fatback is diced, stomach intestines are rinsed before becoming casings for sausage and boudin. This is a boucherie.
