I've boiled them for several hours with a couple feet and shanks, chopped the meat and mixed it with onion, garlic, chives and whatever seasonings I wanted, then added Franks Red Hot or cider vinegar and some of the gelled broth. It sort of soft-set and made a great spread for crackers or sandwiches.

Passed by my fav German Deli yesterday and bagged getting some head cheese. Now you post this and I am quite literally drooling. Jerk!
That sounds WONDERFUL.

A buddy of mine, after also seeing them in the freezer at wal-mart, got intrigued and decided to cook one for Christmas last year. My family joined his for a very tasty, very interesting meal. I liked it.

I believe he broiled it. I’ll see if I can get his recipe.

Here’s the recipe he used:

I'm fine with eating one, if I don't have to brush his teeth first! :ACRY: :puke:

My wife's family always ordered a smoked ham from a place called Essicars between Jackson and Cape Girardeau  MO. Mahan I visited one year we went and picked it up, and the shop was ringed with smoked pigs heads starting in the 50s. I think it was about 2000 ish when I visited. It was quite the site. Sadly they are no longer in business.

I ate at this place (Pigface Restaurant) in China years ago and remember it was good.  They split it in half and braise it.  It pretty much peels off like pulled pork.

Ate one years and years ago in Argentinian Army Mountaineering School.  It was good, but then I was a young, very drunk paratrooper... ;)

I just saw confit pig head on the menu yesterday at a Mexican restaurant in Portsmouth, NH. I didn't get it as I was by myself and it was $70.

My grandma said you can eat everything but the squeal. I would try to smoke one, but the wife said absolutely not in her house. Says the same thing about liver-n-onions and Polish Sausage and sourcrout.

" In today's instant gratification society, more and more pressure revolves around success and the measurement of one's prowess as a hunter by inches on a score chart or field photos produced on social media. Don't fall into the trap. Hunting is-and always will be- about the hunt, the adventure, the views, and time spent with close friends and family. " Ryan Hatfield

These two butchers from NYC do some amazing whole animal butchery.  The two links above are for hogs head cheese and a New Orleans crispy hogs head.  I tried the head cheese, it was out of this world. 
I usually delete my posts after two days.

I've never claimed to be a house painter or a mechanic...it always amazes me how many people want to claim to be a lawyer.
