Souse is pickled pigs head with onions and spices. *puke* Hope you're happy now. :grumpy:

AKA Head cheese
 
No amount of preparation is gonna help, so why bother. Heckling you might give me the humour buffer I need to survive it.

You pretty much gouge out the eyeballs, shave off the hair, cut out the tongue, and boil the rest. The brains'll come out the ears. Hence, head cheese.

Bon apetit.

That, disturbingly, reminds me of a date I went on .....
 
SOUSE- also known as pickled pork.


INGREDIENTS

1 pigs head and trotters or 3 lbs. meaty pork
Juice of 4 large limes
Salt to taste
1 medium onion, finely chopped
1 large cucumber, peeled and chopped fine
2 Scotch bonnet peppers, deseeded and chopped
Parsley to garnish

METHOD
Wash and clean pork very well. Place in a large saucepan of boiling water and simmer until tender.
Remove the meat from the saucepan and plunge into cold water. When cool, remove and cut into bit sized pieces.
Skin and cut the pig tongue into lengthway slices and cut trotters in half.
Put the pork into a bowl and make a brine with the lime juice, water and salt to taste. (About 2 cups of brine)
Mix this with the onion, cucumber and pepper, then pour over the meat.
Cover and chill in the refrigerator for several hours before serving.
Garnish with parsley.
 
Correct Inky (well, Arizona & California), I forgot the little ' mark.

This was our favorite hog desensitizing tool

followed by one of these

then using a tripod to drain the sumbitch.

As far as chickens go, a good grip & a flick of the wrist, followed by scalding hot water & a small fire for the hard to reach pinfeathers. We would do a dozen a day & cook two or three.

I'd like to learn to cut them (cattle & pigs) in a butchers stlye (steak, chops, roasts, bacon)
