Head cheese fun...

[dernektambura]

Sorry guys for missing out to make pics of head cheese making and stuffing... 2 grandkids, wife "honey do list" and cooking pork head and hocks.. no time between: "grandpa, we need you"...!
Anyhow... Grandkids safely tucked back to their mom, wife watching some girly tv thing and I am out smoking my precious head cheese... Hard time to keep temp below 24 deg C... 23 hrs to go...
Front peace is missing...my bad..... It just happened some red onion and freshly baked bread was, out of blue, available... Couldn't resist...

Man... This thing is gonna give me hearth attack... Close to 24 deg C... Pack of ice already in to keep it cool... Luckily, healthy dose of home made Bosnian pear moonshine at hand... It's gunna be looong night...lol

 

[dernektambura]

Two hours in to smoking session, cut in four pieces to get more smoke penetration... Each piece will be vacuum packed and freeze... More like 3 will be packed and freeze...lol..

Will be waiting for the finish!

Testing... Home made Bosnian pear moonshine, tomato and slice of head cheese... One sip, one tomato and one head cheese... lol... Feels like that song: one bourbon, one scotch and one beer...lol..

Da wow!
I was expecting my grandmother's version of boiling out a full pig head to extract the fat and meat for stuffing. I don't remember what casing she stuffed. Appears a stomach
Good choice slicing up for the smoke.

That looks great! It appears more Dense than the average chunks of meat separated by Gelaitn. Would you provide a detailed recipe? THANKS...JJ

Great looking meal!! The meat is very well dispersed throughout the mixture. That makes it nice to eat without any surprises?! Put a fried egg with that, and I'd never leave! LOL!
