I yes I dare eat this dish, this will show my age now my grandparents bought me up and we used to have this for dinner, the brains I used to have on toast, they taste similar to soft roes. We used to have pigs trotters as well, all these were good for you, when the head was cooked my grandmother used to put it on the table in a large pan and then dish it out with mashed potatoes and veg. This brings back all the memories of the good old days.

I've often seen the heads in the supermarkets around this time of year and wondered what they did with them? is this some sort of traditional thing?

I actually had this at my neighbours house once ... it was incredibly tasty and filling.

I'm not sure I could make it myself though! I prefer my meat ready butchered [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]
