I can only assume they used the collagen from the skin to act as a binder. Anyone have any experience with this? I can’t be the only one who is 50% sure this is going to be amazing but also 50% sure it is going to be gross can I? I highly doubt it will be gross, looks like he knew what he was doing!

What the Sam hell is that! Looks like something I lost once. Lol. The ingredients make it sound good but…

[Jonathon]

Haha yeah, it looks…interesting!

[KansasDad]

To me, it looks like a form of head-cheese!!

[Joe Hell]

Weird…but I’d like to try it! We are getting all sorts of crazy requests at the shop and we are game to try anything! I made a batch of Linguica that called for a small amount of boiled and ground pork skin which gives a silky mouth feel (‘palate appeal’ for Jonathon) and acts as an emulsifier. It dissolves completely when cooked.

PapaSop that looked like a weird 1970’s Jelo desert

[Joe Hell]

craigrice HAHAHA!!! My mom collects photos and postcards of that kind of thing. lol

[PapaSop]

craigrice
Haha…Absolutely

[Jonathon]

Joe Hell Thank you for thinking of my dislike of that term!

craigrice lol that is exactly what it looks like!

Jonathon One recipe I found online called for pig trotters…we’ve been looking for a use for them. If anyone has some suggestions I’d like to hear them!

[craigrice]

Joe Hell what are pig trotters?

[Joe Hell]

craigrice Feet! We’ve got far too many!

[Jonathon]

Departing Contestant This sounds like the type of thing you might have some input on!?

[Departing Contestant]

Jonathon Ha - when we use to butcher we would pickle them with red chilies, jalapenos and garlic cloves. Pigs feet are so tender and tasty. When you farm butcher, you really do eat everything but the oink. Pork rinds right out of hot grease are dreamy

[Joe Hell]

Departing Contestant I’ll give the pickling a shot…if nothing else, it will be good for a frightening sight and Halloween is right around the corner! Pork rinds are high on the list as well!

[Departing Contestant]

Joe Hell cautionary tale - grab a hock that fills your hand. after you eat the tender wonder meat off of it…it will still fill most of your hand

[Joe Hell]

Departing Contestant I have a theory about hand size relating to portion control. I believe that as hunter gatherers we are equipped with the perfect measuring tool in regards to eating. A handful tends to be a perfect measure of the proper amount of protein one should consume per meal and is proportionate to body size. I try to go for one handful of meat and two handfuls of veggies per meal. A recommended serving of almonds is 1 oz which is a perfect handful for me. As I reintroduce some fruits and other items back in to my diet I will always have my ‘handy’ measuring device ready at the go!

[Departing Contestant]

Joe Hell I am sorry to disagree but whatever diet that restricts your protein to the size of your hand is misguided and “hand-shaming” those of us who like a big rib-eye, a rack of ribs, or a big bowl of chicken wings. also as a rule your food should be consumed off a plate and not out of your hand. that is an evolutionary advancement that separates us from the hunter gatherers

[Joe Hell]

Departing Contestant LOL! I love food that doesn’t require a plate or utensils…I’m down with consuming a steak like a true carnivore.

I do also feel strongly about foods of convenience…if it comes in a wrapper, bag, box or frozen I try not to eat it. Sadly, that means just about everything that is both salty and crunchy. Diet be damned but the results are worth it!

this looks like a type of head cheese and therefore is usually eaten as a sandwich or as a simple type of dish. The difference is that head cheese is made with the parts of a steers head ( the lips, tongue cheeks etc. ) this looks more like normal cold cuts, both are encased in a type of gelatin.
