I have never forgotten being in my German Great Grandmother’s kitchen in about 1960, and she said she was going to be making some “headcheese.” She must have seen my puzzled look....”Do you know what that is?” Of course I didn’t...I was about 10....Pig Brains.....aagghhh....now...50 years later....I understand that you can use the whole animal...and will, IF YOU ARE REALLY HUNGRY!
They have head cheese, scrapple, and all sorts of interesting meat products at the local upscale grocery store. It is actually on the pricey side.
Ya got that right.
And combining animals makes for better sausage. Hellsbells, my Dad ate lard sandwiches for two years of his life.
Now, not to say that he didn’t have bypass surgery when he was 50, but when you’re hungry, you eat anything.
Did you ever hear Rush’s Dirt Soup story? My daughters and I laughed so hard at this..
