Mark Rendelman hull 24 Posted January 4, 2021 Report Posted January 4, 2021 Ok fine the link shows me what a pig stick is for live stock but why do they call it that for a nautical term why not just call it by what it is a short flag staf ? Quote
Chick Ludwig Posted January 4, 2021 Report Posted January 4, 2021 'Cause the first ones that were used by our ancient Southern ancestors were actually made from the long leg bone from a real pig. They commonly called the pig's leg a "pig stick" when they roasted them when they barbecued the pig. I discovered this while doing my usual in-depth careful research when writing my story about Real Southern Fried Chicken. Quote
