    I even knew what callos was before clicking. And no, I would not.

    One of the local specialities north of here is tête de veau - look it
    up if you want to be completely disgusted. A local variant can fool
    the unwary by its name - fromage de tete, which is all the biys of
    head compressed into a terrine. HAd it once by accident and it's what
    you'd expect - sticky, fatty, slimey and other words ending in 'y'.
    Not to be repeated.

    Fucking foul..

    "The butchers will have cut the calf's head in two and then rolled it
    round a calf’s tongue"

    and

    "Once a meat skewer can be put through the head and meets no
    resistance, on average after about five hours, it will be ready but at
    this stage "

    and amusinlgy

    "once you have finished cooking it you must allow it to cool completely
    otherwise it will explode"

    Sounds yummy. Actually I've eaten it (i think in Carcassone) and it
    was nice.

    Then again I've also eaten calf brains more than once.

    Nope. Lots have pink meat which is usually because the meat has been cured
    rather than died a funny colour.

    See "common pie" http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pork_pie or

    "Wilsons Pies

    When you get an award winning butcher, good locally reared pork, an old
    family recipe and a passion for baking, the end result is a Wilsons
    Champion Pork Pie.

    A tasty, crispy pastry with a *cured pork* filling and a delicious seasoned
    jelly is what you get with a Wilsons Pork Pie. "

    http://www.wilsonspies.com/

    Some pies with cured meat are very good. However, I can't get rid of the
    notion that a pie with pink meat will taste the same as the awful Robirch
    pies that my mum used to buy when I was a small child. A quick google
    suggests Robirch is no longer in the pie & sausage business, which is a
    very good thing.

    @4ax.com:

    Heathen.

    Belly pork is wonderful stuff. Roasted until most of the fat has rendered
    which gives the bonus of dripping for roast spuds or just on toast.

    Yes. I read the Wikipedia piece about the curing. Every day's a shool day.
    I can commend Law's pies in Spalding.

    Indeed. Mate of mine made head terrine once. Was rather yummy.

    It is divine, if properly done. I didn't want to impunge Ace's mum, though.

    Well, if it's crispy then fine, otherwise not.
    She had five kids and an alcoholic husband, so was always trying for
    cheap, nourishing, meals. Generally succeeded very well, but the
    pigmeat/pinkmeat was not one of her better efforts.

    you wouldn't get belly nowadays - it's no longer the cheap cut. Fucking
    poncey chefs on telly have seen to that. Slow cooked belly won "best
    British dish" not so long ago.

    If you make your own burgers, try adding some finely minced/sliced &
    chopped belly-pork (minus skin, which you boil for a minute, salt and
    roast for pork scratchings) to the burger, adds a nice
    juicy-stickiness, the fat is full of flavour. Mmmm...

    I had a similar reaction to the suggestion to apply baby oil to my bike
    in another thread. An entire industry I didn't know existed. And you can
    buy it in Tescos!
