Solving Omlet Smart Auto Door Timing Issues with Alexa Routines

[spratly0]

Finished butchering an old spot this weekend - the head is quite small, so i think this piggy may have been a bit younger than we are used to having. Does anybody eat head to tail and have a recipe other than brawn as to what i can cook using a pigs head? I hate brawn but it's such a waste if we don't use it.

Any ideas greatly appreciated.

Hi - I've amended the title of your thread so that people don't stumble in, wondering what it is about

 

If it is a small head then you may find it easier to use just the chaps (cheeks) There is a good amount of meat in them - you can roast them or make potted meat with them?

 

...or, take a look in some of the other self-sufficiency forums for advice - River Cottage is always good for that..........

I tried to make brawn last year as my husband insisted he liked it, I spent ages boiling the head but the smell was AWFUL! He walked through the door from work and almost threw up, I'm ashamed to say the brawn never happened and the head was wasted!

Hi

There was a piece on the fword about eating all of a pig. It was done by Tom Thatcher I think??? Everything from eyes to anus. No really. There were more recipes that were a little more 'digestable'. Try the channel 4 website???

Hope that helps!
