Her mother says, I do not know, it is the way my mother always did it. Later on, the young girl asks her Grandmother, Grandmother why do you cut the ends off the roast. Her Grandmother says, my mother always did it that way. The next time the young girls talks to her Great Grandmother she asks, great Grandmother, why do you always cut the ends of the roast off before placing it in the pot?
