Vinegar? You made souse, lol. That used to be the difference in head cheese vs souse for the USDA. Now I believe it doesn’t matter.

Once I worked on a recipe for a large local grocer. They wanted vinegar, little seasoning, and large chunks. I thought it was nasty but they liked it. Not sure if they are still having it processed or not.

My family used the terms interchangeably. An acid, vinegar, lemon, or both, has generally been part of any batch I make.

Here it is! It's a win, but I think I'll change some things for next time. Actually seems too meaty. And I got it too salty. But I think I'll just put more water in it next time to fix both of those issues. Fun stuff.

Looks great. Enjoy playing with a dish! You can always make adjustments and explore.
