I'm eating my own head-cheese.

See attached pics.

I know it as Brawn, but old-fashioned USA cookbooks call it head-cheese, (because it was made of a pigs head, usually.)

I used Ox-tongue and Corned Beef Silverside, both boiled, then chopped fine, then added Veggies.

Made up a nice stiff Aspic (using beef stock and French gelatine sheets with spices: Cayenne, Mace, Cloves, Peppercorns, Juniper Berries.)

Mixed Meat/Veggies and Aspic together, Set in a loaf, and sliced using my roundy-roundy Deli Slicer.

Heaven. I LOVE Brawn. Love it.
