Pressed Head Recipe

Pig's head is good baked with beans, or corned and smoked. It is also

nice prepared with spices in the following manner. Boil the ears,

forehead, and rind, (the cheek is good, but it is better corned and

smoked,) till the meat will almost drop from the bones; take them up;

when cold cut the meat in strips about an inch long, warm it in a little

of the liquor in which the meat was boiled, season it with salt, pepper,

cloves, nutmeg, and cinnamon. Put it while hot in a strong bag, put a

heavy weight upon it, and let it remain till perfectly cold. When you

wish to eat it, cut it in thin slices.
