Never tried the stocking trick, but it sounds interesting. If I ever get up that way, will give you a hollar, only if you do the same if you are ever in my neck of the woods.

All the ingredients are put in a nylon stocking and hung in the fridge overnight to drain and harden up. Strip off the stocking the next day and you have a nice torpedo of "head cheese." Easy to slice and put on a saltine. Heaven.<br />Thanks for a great post!<br />Come visit us in Vermont when you have a chance:<br />www.tailgait.blogspot.com<br />Happy New Year!~ Janishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10637404142608576162noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7383518290733995647.post-2651609388775759642012-12-07T05:12:07.365-08:002012-12-07T05:12:07.365-08:00HermitJim, it never even dawned on me that those t...HermitJim, it never even dawned on me that those type recipes would be in the Foxfire series. Living in this region I have never read them, but now you have sparked my interest and I think I will head to the library to see if I can find them.<br /><br />MSgt Jim, would love to share the feast with you. A hog killing is always a fun time as friends and family come together. <br /><br />JMD, don't be sorry about the icky. It is a regional thing and I am sure there are "delicacies" around our country that I would hesitate to try. Farmer Joe is the more adventurous one when it comes to food, then if he says it is good, I try it out.
