I like souse (head cheese). I like mine a little sweeter, I add sugar to the vinegar. It's the best way to use all the meat from a hog.olpanrider wrote:My Grandparents loved hogs head cheese on crackers with buttermilk..

It's not made from brains though (at least I've never seen it made with the brains)

What I made didn't look like any of those pictures either. I boiled the bones after butchering and got all the scraps of meat that were left on the bones to make mine.

I've never eaten brains, and I might try them if given the opportunity but around here at least, deer brains would not be the best choice due to "chronic wasting disease".
