Feet/ears after 2 h in the pressure cooker

Picked the good stuff from the bowl and split it between three casserole dishes like this one

Then they go in the cold room to spend the night.

Looks like this when congealed.

Will scrape some of the fat (not on my share) , sprinkle it with good paprika and serve with horseradish.

Old school recipes. Made in the dead of winter back then they didnt have many ingredients: garlic, dry spices, some root vegs. So headcheese, terrine, aspic all have the same foundation. More or less stock in the final product.

Also the pig part is relevant: head is a bit too fatty for aspic. Having a spoonful of cold fat in front of you (in an aspic serving) is not the same as fat mixed with meat in a sliced headcheese. I think.

One of my skis. Atomic Model "nomad smoke". Didnt realize until after i got them how well they represent me: nomad (i am an immigrant) ...smoke - doesn't need 'splaining.
