Or if you haven't had your breakfast yet, or if you've just finished your breakfast, hahaha.
Don't say I didn't warn you!

Yes, it's that time of year again at Chez B...head-cheese time!
The Saint takes a week off before Thanksgiving under the guise of deer hunting season but what he really does is plan and execute the making of the head-cheese. We begin getting calls about the middle of October, folks asking when the cheese is gonna be ready and can they get a one? I know when I hear him on this end of the conversation asking do you want hot or not-hot? that he's talking about the cheese.
It's a mystery to me that anyone can eat it but I guess there are those who don't like fruit cake and that's one of my favs so it proves - there's no accounting for taste.
He even did a little photo shoot for me while he was hookin-it-up, LOL.
I present you...the making of the cheese!
It begins at 4:30am with pots of boiling pig parts...
Then the parts are drained, mashed...
and seasoned...
then pressed into loaves.
Not a bad days work and the kitchen was clean when I got home too!
Thanks Honey!
Check back for my first tutorial...

into a circular needle holder, using materials I had around the craft room...

Yep - that's pretty gross looking!
it actually doesn't look any worse than any other meat product. of course, I am biased, being scottish. looks better than black pudding, you know?
I bet your kitchen smelled *terrible.*
I don't get it. Head cheese? Give me fruitcake.
I shall take fruitcake, too.
