So traumatizing to watch but actually tastes pretty amazing.  Haven't had head cheese since I was a kid but I can remember eating it with saltine crackers and mustard.

My Dad used to love it, it was cheap lunchmeat when he was growing up during the Great Depression.

Every time we would butcher a hog, mother would make head cheese. To me it didn't taste bad, but still it wasn't anything that I looked forward to. The weird thing was that she wouldn't let us eat the cracklin's after rendering the lard.

We called it souse down South. I used to eat the hot kind with saltines.











My great grandma used to make it.











Mmmmm good.




Might order this.

Of all the available varieties of meat, this would fall near the very bottom of the list.



I think while you guys salivate over head cheese, I'll get the rare roast beef. Don't worry, you'd hate it......not enough assholes and elbows for your liking.

OK, I  have a mix of pig parts boiled and some seriously gelatinous broth. I was figuring on adding salt, pepper, chopped fresh garlic and lots of chopped fresh parsley. Any other ideas?

This. My grandfather loved to make it, but no way I'd ever touch it.

This takes me back to my bistrot days. We made this weekly, along with fried pigs ears.

I would change the water after initially bringing it up to a boil, then add mirepiox and some chicken feet.

I have a whole pig coming next month. I'm going to do this.



Thanks, OP!

So, he goes on about it being a marathon, not a sprint, and it's a 2 day process.  He cuts apart a pig's head with hand tools.  He hand picks through the meat like 3 times.

But he's not going to bother squeezing lemons for juice and instead used bottled lemon stuff from the grocery?

Funny how folks here are freaking out over this.



Food of the poor south.  My grandmother used to make it.




Hot souse.  Good stuff as a kid.




You are just boiling the meat off of the bones of the face (meat is meat because it is all skeletal muscle) and then preparing it with spices and using the natural gelatin to hold it together.




Not much different than the pink slime McD's uses, just healthier.

I buy a spicy head cheese from a local deli and like it on bread or crackers, chased with a cold beer.
My kids were chowing on it til their mom told them what it was

Some of you have delicate sensibilities.



Riddle me this all you emoters.  Do you eat hotdogs, brauts, or breakfast sausage?   I doubt there is much of a difference between the two.

Question after watching the video.

When I was a kid I helped butcher a couple of pigs in the basement of a farmhouse.  Saturday was the butchery, Sunday was smoking and scrapple.  As I recall the stuff that went into the pans was MUCH thinner - it was poured in, not spooned.

I also recall seeing what I now recognize as head cheese in my grandparents refrigerator. But it almost looked like the meat version of a jello fruit mold - which indeed it is.

What he made seems more like potted meat.

Grew up butchering our own hogs , my grandma made this and I ate it with crackers as a child

Once I got a little older ( maybe 10-11) we were doing a batch of hogs. All day process, and the next day I helped make it , and couldn't eat it after the whole smell of the hogs head boiling away

Looks delicious.  We make liver pudding every year that is a similar process with a few different ingredients.  Yum.

That is just a fancy version of scrapple, isn't it?

Scrapple is pretty much everything left over from butchering. It's head cheese plus a few other organs and whatnot.

Poor people in Pennsylvania don't discriminate.

First try , not too successful. I used no added gelatin and it didn't hold together well. I'm gonna heat it up later and add gelatin and remold it. The flavor was great though.
