I prefer head cheese with bigger chunks of meat or cut up in lieu of through the grinder.

I made some last year and used my stuffer and synthetic summer sausage casing to make large rolls. Looked good but I didn't get the flavor right. I'll try again though.

We went with about 1/3 of the meat sliced thin or chunked last year. It seemed to work well. Every preparation varies depending on the sobriety of the kitchen...a normal night of cooking.

It's a kitchen I'm accustomed to. I made "midnight oysters" the other night. I started at 6.

Bergeron's in Port Allen makes some good hogs head cheese.
A few months ago,I made a sandwich with a thin slice of hogs head cheese browned in a skillet, a fried egg and cheddar. It was wonderful

I could be, and likely am, confused.

Spicy Smokey pork heaven. Drive up to Jerry Lee's in Central and give it a shot.

I like it on crackers, sliced thin with deli meat and cheese on sandwiches, and mixed into grits

Best I've found was at a little market in Cottonport called T-Jims. Great stuff.

Anybody else a fan of hog head cheese in grits? Talk about good.

I also sometimes melt it down in a skillet with onions and put it inside a corn tortilla. Delicious,
