What Did Ya'll Have For Dinner Tonight?

[Dave Shepard]

My cousin taught ESL in China. He said American Chinese food isn't at all like real Chinese food. Real Chinese has way more chicken feet.

 

[MasterBlaster]

Crunchy snacks!!!

 

[August Hunicke]

Corned beef.

 

[MasterBlaster]

Man, I don't eat squat now that I've quit sugar. Beans, rice, cheese, meat. On a good note, I've lost 20 ibs!

 

[August Hunicke]

Me too. Down 12 lbs with 1 month no sugar, no carbs.

 

[MasterBlaster]

It makes snacking a beeyotch. Nuts, mostly.

 

[August Hunicke]

Exactly, what about beer tho...

 

[MasterBlaster]

No beer - it gets converted into glucose.

Whiskey.

 

[SeanKroll]

Right now, 2 bacon cheeseburgers, a salad, and one Porter. I think I got a second tapeworm.

 

[MasterBlaster]

Name him "Stan!"

 

[Jonny]

Still doing keto too. I need to buy new clothes that fit, but wanna wait til I'm done losing weight.

 

[FireFighterZero]

Split hog head in half and the brined for 24 hours.



Cut into quarters and cooked for 4 hours or so.



Picked all the meat off.



Put all the meat and some of the reduced stock into a bread pan.

If it sets up properly we will eat our head cheese tomorrow.

 

[MasterBlaster]

And grind the bones!

 

[flushcut]

Sucking the marrow and all that!

 

[squisher]

I just can't imagine eating that myself. Does it taste like bacon?

 

[MasterBlaster]

It's just meat. I bet it tastes just fine.

 

[squisher]

Is there much meat in the head? Is the brain in it at the start of this?

 

[MasterBlaster]

I'm no expert, but it looks like enough meat to be salvaged to me. Pretty sure the brain is still in there... I guess you crack it open, Jim?

 

[flushcut]

Pork jowls are amazing if you have never had them. Similar to bacon.

 

[FireFighterZero]

Yes, I did split the head to remove the brain and help it brine better.

The eyes come out too.

Enough meat to fill a large glass bread pan.

Then the stock is poured over it.


Tastes like pork roast.

 

[MasterBlaster]

What do you do with the eyeballs? How do you prepare them? Just pop them in your mouth raw?

 

[squisher]

Hmm well maybe I would try it?

 

[FireFighterZero]

No, I dont eat the eyes or the brains. Pork brains are supposed to be a real delicacy...but I am leery. Prions and all that.


Not sure what you would do with the eyes. My brethren to the north of Justin eat seal eyeballs raw.


Head cheese is just a pork meat jell-o mold.

 

[MasterBlaster]

Get me some crackers!!!

 

[Burnham]

Eeewww.
