My Granny made head cheese. It was a favorite of my Granddad and my Uncle. I never liked it.
Head Cheese
This is made of the head, ears and tongue of a pig. Boil in salted water until tender, remove the bones and chop fine. Season with salt, pepper, sage, and a little vinegar. Mix all together thoroughly, pack in a bowl, then press down by putting a wetted plate on the top. In a day's time this will be ready for use. This is generally eaten cold for tea, with vinegar and mustard, but can be eaten in slices, seasoned slightly with mustard and warmed in a frying pan with enough butter to prevent burning.
