Nice work. Last year at Cochon 555 in Philadelphia, we bought the pig head at the end of the night too. They wanted $120 for it at first, but as the crowds thinned and they still didn't have anyone else biting, we got it for a steal at $35. We went with headcheese tacos and they were fantastic.

I love pork and have no problem with the idea of animal butchery, and this still looks really weird to me. Finished product looks great though!

Yeah, butchery is not for the faint of stomach. I once bought two rabbits, skinned and gutted but otherwise whole. Jointed them, removed the meat, made a delicious pot pie and stock from the bones and then... turned vegetarian for a year. I wasn't up to it. I'm back to eating meat now, but I still prefer veggie dishes when available.

Serendipitaet posted:You could've googled this yourself but head cheese refers to meat from an animal's less desirable parts e.g. head, feet etc set in aspic, like this: in Australia/UK it's called brawn. My butcher makes the most phenomenal brawn, minimal use of aspic (i can't stand aspic) and it's super meaty and nicely sweet. Their chilli brawn is something else. Sourdough bread, big thick slice of that and some kewpie mayo is my go to lunch. sometimes with some sriracha sauce for good measure.

After lurking for so long this post turned out to be the last straw that broke the camels back and made me finally open an SA account, it was you, and your glorious pigs head!
