"There was this great big barrel-shaped jar on the counter...pickled pigs' feet...very popular with our customers.  They'd point to one, and we'd fish it out and wrap it in butcher paper.  We sold the big dill pickles, too.

"And bologna sausage as long as my arm...we'd put it on the slicer and cut just how many slices they wanted...couldn't sell the end pieces, so we got to eat those...a treat."    [ben sakoguchi]
