Re: deer heads (pause for shiver) Perhaps, perhaps, they are used for tamales? Here in SCal, markets with a significant Mexican-American clientele will sell beef and pork heads for tamale makings peeps. This is the time of year when distracted mommies who are concentrating on “getting all the stuff on the damned list” and not paying much attention to either the kiddies in the shopping cart or the stuff on the shelves in the Meat Department. A little kid comes face-to-face with a skinned pig head…well, you get the picture. Excuse me, I think I have to go throw up now… ~VOW ---

I’m a believer that, if you are going to kill an animal for food, you should use that animal up completely. That makes me okay with leather shoes, clothes, couches, hooves for glue, etc. That animal gave its life for you. So yes, I’m okay with trotters; there’s a surprising amount of meat there. I’m not quite as sure about brains unless it is well-cooked. Fun fact: bison brain was oft et raw and warm rather than let it go to waste. It is full of trace minerals and nutrients that are removed by cooking. Gross, yes. But practical for the nomads of the plains. ---

She started a thread here in MPSIMS about her husband’s hunting dog yesterday; Discourse says she was last seen here 51 minutes ago. > [@Bad, bad, bad Dillon the Villian is sent to doggy reform school](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/bad-bad-bad-dillon-the-villian-is-sent-to-doggy-reform-school/954772): > > I’m kinda sad. He’s unruly, murderous, a runner and totally untrainable. But, hilarious. I was sorta liking him like that. My Hobo chicken population was reduced to 2. A few baby squirrels and barn rats were brutally murdered. The barn rat killing is a plus. I could see him having a permanent position as head rat killer. But…no. He was purchased to hunt by Mr.Wrekker. Hunt he must. First things first. To hunt you kinda have to listen, hear and carry out specific behaviors. Dillon ain’t go… ---

> [@Beckdawrek](#): > > I didn’t feel clear headed enough to post. I’ve had a kerfuffle in my health care, A—gain. > But I’ll get thru this too. Sorry to hear that, Beck. Wishing you the best as one of my very favourite posters and an all-around wonderful person who somehow manages to endure the craziest life of anyone I know! Also … > [@Beckdawrek](#): > > Hog feet and the grocery meat counter affected the Lil’wrekker at an impressionable time in her life. > She claims she has PTSD. Piffle and balderdash, forsooth! My mother would occasionally make a traditional dish with pigs’ feet that was basically a variant (or at least a close relative) of head cheese. This has a number of different forms and is common to many cultures around the world under different names, particularly in Europe. It can be in the form of a cold cut that is sliced, but also a dish that is served on a plate or in a bowl. In the latter form it’s basically a savoury aspic with bits of pork in it, basically jellied pork, and looked something like the stuff in the center here. I enjoyed it even as a kid. Notwithstanding the name, it has nothing to do with any creature’s head and the main ingredient is pigs’ feet upon which is bestowed a lot of labour-intensive cookery.

I can see that anyone even slightly concerned about kosher being shocked, but that sounds disgusting even if one is not Jewish! When my mother made her version of head cheese, we’d season it with a drizzle of vinegar. Having anything like that with milk gravy would be like having roast beef with ice cream gravy. 🤢 ---

Thx, @wolfpup Kind words are always appreciated. Oh, god that headcheese stuff is kinda gross. The Piggly wiggly store makes their own version. It smells good in there when they cook it. But looks disgusting. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/bad-bad-bad-prank-night-at-the-wrek-insane-asylum-and-crazy-hat-night/954471.md?page=2)
