    Testa!

    The A16 Cookbook has a recipe I've used many times.

    I know he'd be happy to talk testa with you, but if you, by chance can not make it into the store before your head rots, you can always watch Rob Levitt deal with a pig's head on this video deemed too bloody for the Chicago Film Food Fest

    Geo,

    I'd have to boil it up and make scrapple. Might need to add a small amount of pork liver to get the right taste. Wonderful stuff, scrapple. Had a few slices with over easy eggs yesterday morning.

    Hi,

    Did you look at prior information posted here and here? Unfortunately images are missing from the second thread.

    Regards,

    Pepin has a great procedure/recipe for making a head cheese from a a whole pig's head.
    I have used that procedure a number of times and it never fails.
    Find that recipe and have at it.-Dick
