On Gourmet.com, Chris Cosentino demonstrates how to butcher a whole pig's head (via Serious Eats), and how to make porchetta di testa from the meat, skin, snout, tongue, &c. Not for the squeamish, I guess.
At the Whole Hog cooking class I went to a couple of months ago, the instructor butchered a pig's leg while we watched, but a pig's head is even more fascinating.
And, I have to say--the look on the pig's face in the photo to the right makes me laugh every time I see it.
Gross porker!
Is it rude to ask you a typepad question here?
Oh well.... the type/font on my posts have changed and I hate it and want my smaller neater type back but I don't know how to change it? Also, in the middle of my post today I suddenly had a sentence in different type and size. Grrrrrrrr! When/if you answer me keep it simple, I am VERY stupid and technophobic when it comes to anything computer related. ta. x
