Imagine shopping for your meat and coming across Popup Linkthis. Rather disturbing.

I don't even know what one does with a pigs head (except maybe use it in a really gross practical joke?)

    They are used quite regularly here in San Diego...  The Mexicans have many uses for the Head...  including a delicious soupe called Pozole..  made with corn and pork with green chilies...

    Head Cheese
    Head cheese, also called souse and brawn, is a jellied loaf or sausage. Originally it was made entirely from the meaty parts of the head of a pig or calf, but now can include edible parts of the feet, tongue, and heart. The head is cleaned and simmered until the meat falls from the bones, and the liquid is a concentrated gelatinous broth. Strained, the meat is removed from the head, chopped, seasoned and returned to the broth and the whole placed in a mold and chilled until set, so it can be sliced.

    Now you know the rest of the story. Good day!

    I grew up and live in the south.  I've seen many a jar of pickled pig's feet in my day...  and never desired to eat them...

    seeing this could put me off of meat...

    I have shopped at this grocery store for years... never saw a whole head before.

    I don't like to look my meal in the eye.

    Having lived in the south most of my life (southern AR and northern LA) I have seen just about every part of the pig/hog used for something.  For those that think this is gross, I wont even tell you what goes into hot dogs, bologna and other processed "meat".

    Pork of this kind is some of the best you can get, if done right.

    There is some "good eats" in that photo, I tell you what.

    And what do you think all those hotdogs, bolognas and other sausages are encased within?

    On pictures: first you have to size the photo down to LESS THEN 150 x 126. Then you upload it like a photo you would for a story. Then go to your preferences (under "your account" on the left sidebar) and choose that picture under "your picture"

    Most hotdogs, sausages, etc casings are not made out of intestines anymore... they're made out of cellulose. Good thing too.

    don't forget when uploading your avatar to upload it both as a thumbnail AND a medium-rez shot...same picture, uploaded twice at the same time. If that makes sense. Let me know if you're still having problems, lechar. That's an interesting photo, nirak--despite its subject!
