.....Everything but the Squeal .....

An idiom expressed by 7 year old Luke Chandler, narrator and main character in the John Grisham novel, A Painted House..

"The hog killing would come in December, when the air was cold and the bacteria dead. Every year a hog was shot in the head, dipped in boiling water, and hung from a tree next to the tool shed, then gutted and butchered into a thousand pieces. From it we got bacon, ham, loin, sausage and ribs. Everything was used --tongue, brains, feet. "Everything but the Squeal" was a line I'd heard all my life, " ~ Luke Chandler (pp. 374, A Painted House, Grisham, J. Double Day Publishers, NY NY, February 2001).
