That’s how my last Limburger episode ended.


I found a video on headcheese making. I think I see my error last time. I cut the meat off the head before I boiled it.

All the recipes that I have seen say to cook the head until the meat falls off.

I remember. Like I said, I would never put Limburger on a pizza and I would never heat Limburger cheese.

And I never will again!

Did you notice any good head cheese recipes on it?

That is really common with those old recipes. I know for a fact that my paternal grandmother would leave things out of her recipes intentionally to make sure that no one else could make it like she could.

This is from The Household Searchlight Recipe Book 1935.

Headcheese

1 Hog's head
1 Hog's Tongue
Sage and chili powder
Salt and pepper

Clean and scrape hog's head. Wash thoroughly. Wash and trim tongue. Cover tongue and head with slightly salted water. Simmer until meat falls from bone. Drain meat. Shred. Season to taste. Mix thoroughly. Pack tightly in bowl. Cover and weight down. Let stand three days. Slice.

I will have to find my maternal grandmother's cookbook to see what her recipe is. This cookbook happened to be right beside me.

You people are sick
I can't think of anything more sickening besides maybe bault.

Oh man! The hard way! I never even knew about head cheese before all the talk here and I would not attempt to do it that way! Actually it sounds good, once you get past the idea of a head boiling away in the cauldron....

I do no remember anyone doing it up in the stomach either. Also the ears never went in as I recall.

but her finished product looked yummy.

How old is she now? Those are the snood and caruncles of a young hen. She also does have a "mohawk". A tom at her age would be bald. A tom's snood, if retracted, would form into a cone. At this time of year, the snood would almost never be retracted. A tom's caruncles at the base of his throat would be very easily noticed.

I was going to say, “looks hennish to me”.


and add, those are very womanly legs.

I remember headcheese always done in the stomach . As a kid it had that white rind on it when sold . I did not know what that rind was until I was much older . I just roast mine in the oven or electric roaster . Yes Ralphie meat on the bone and skin on . You get the natural gelatin that way . Need the gelatin to set once formed into a loaf .
