If you love Hog Head Souse; you , your parents or your grandparents are from a southern region in America. Hog Head Souse s so good - I can eat a pound a day. I found a meat store who get some of their meat products from Chicago. I get a pound, finely cut; and eat it up almost in a day. Now that I'm talking about it - I think I'll be visiting this store this weekend!!! If anyone knows, Once you check the menu - could you post the Nutrition Value??

Trying to pass on a lot of old recipes to my grandkids when they visit. Grandson raised hogs for 4H and I remember helping make souse on Grandma's kitchen table. This is how I remember helping her make it. Thanks for the memories and the souse recipe! Great family fun time boiling the heads in a turkey roaster out on the patio. ( I do think grandma always used WAY too much sage and this recipe is more liking to my taste. LOL)
