jiggy 3,207 Posted February 22, 2019 Report Share Posted February 22, 2019 I've often been called pigheaded so when I seen this dude in local butchers I said yeah I'll have a look at that. Most people research first but I just buy on a whim and worry about it after. Should I roast or boil is the real question and flavours to add.? My woman for some reason said fcuk off I'm not eating something that is still looking at you. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

jiggy 3,207 Posted March 26, 2019 Author Report Share Posted March 26, 2019 I roasted it after and didn't like it too be honest. Too much fat. I eat cow tongue, and heart regular but got kidneys yesterday and didn't like the fat either and should of trimmed them. Probably making brawn would of been a better idea for pig head. Very little lean meat and a sh1t load of fat. I eat a bit of beef liver every week and most find it a bit strong but I like it. I think it's the fatty meat that does me. I'm fine when eating it but a few hours later it starts curdling in my stomach. I think the pig head is just good for stock really and not for eating. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

comanche 2,799 Posted March 29, 2019 Report Share Posted March 29, 2019 From what I 've read yhe roast hog's heads that grace the table in all the best medieval films are not simply roast pig's heads. What they are is actually a hollow pig mask cut from the skull and stuffed with various other cuts of meat from the pig's body ,vegetables and seasonings. The whole lot is then roasted and when it's role as a table decoration is finished it is carved in such a way that everyone gets a slice pork encased in crunchy,pig-face crackling. I have a couple of boned-out pig masks in the freezer but perhaps it's as well I don't have enough friends to host a medieval banquet. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
