Guest guest Posted October 15, 2003 Report Share Posted October 15, 2003 I have NO idea what it tastes like [just showing off my French :-)]... unless of course my mother fed it to me when I was a child without me knowing... she used to make a goulash type dish from chicken stomachs and hearts and we regularly ate liver 'steaks', jellied calf's foot and cooked tongue, eaten as thinly sliced 'cold cuts'.... no wonder I became a vegetarian LOL... I'll check with her later today Dedy Pancreas, taste? >C'est le pancreas!! > >Dedy So does pancreas TASTE good? I've never heard of cooking it.

Guest guest Posted October 15, 2003 Report Share Posted October 15, 2003 Sounds like my Mom! Once she brought home a whole pig's head to make " head cheese " . Yep, it really is made with heads. I suppose I could get one of those too, but I'm not sure my family wouldn't divorce me. -- Heidi >I have NO idea what it tastes like [just showing off my French :-)]... unless of course my mother fed it to me when I was a child without me knowing... she used to make a goulash type dish from chicken stomachs and hearts and we regularly ate liver 'steaks', jellied calf's foot and cooked tongue, eaten as thinly sliced 'cold cuts'.... >no wonder I became a vegetarian LOL... >I'll check with her later today > >Dedy > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted October 17, 2003 Report Share Posted October 17, 2003 LOL....Dedy! Not Heidi. Thats the French part of me that never took. Head cheese and tourtierre (sp), French pork pie both have the same seasonings in them. Think its a combination of sage and allspice. Mom always made both right after the lard at pig slaughtering time each fall. You boil the head down to a broth, pick meat off, add to broth with spices and it gelatinizes. Get the brain and eye organ goodies just like fish heads doing this along with the collagen in the snout likely. Dad buys pound of head cheese at the deli now each week for snacking. Concerned about quality myself. Could be what's keeping his knee cartilage damage from totally putting him down too. They don't spice the commercial like the French Canadians do.

Guest guest Posted October 17, 2003 Report Share Posted October 17, 2003 >Heidi, >what's head cheese? >TIA >Dedy It is a delicious substance made out of pieces of chopped head, marinated in some vinegar marinade, and set in gelatin, then sliced thin. You can buy the commercial version of it in most grocery deli sections. I'm not sure what EXACTLY goes in it, but I think it is " everything but the bones " . -- Heidi > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
