I went and visited a buddy in houston a couple of weeks ago and we ate a place called "feast." https://sites.google.com/site/feasthouston/

they use a nose to tail approach.  had some pigs feet and guanciale and some other unique stuff.  everything was very good.  interestingly, the place is going out of business because houston isn't exactly forward thinking when it comes to different cuisine. keep us updated!

pro-tip: if you don't already have one, buy a good 8 qt. stove top pressure cooker. turns "slow cooking" into fast cooking and traps in all the moisture.

pressure cooker is definitely on my list.

asava, did you make your own bacon?  you mentioned something about pork bellies.  if so, how did it turn out (with photos)?

i've cooked several pork bellies, but never attempted to make my own bacon. considering making what is called Guanciale. a pig jowl (pictured right after the head) that has been cured, and what amounts to be a better version of bacon and pancetta combined.



this isn't mine, but a decent picture of guanciale. i'm trying to figure out a space in my house or garage that will keep the appropriate temp and humidity for a time long enough to properly cure the meat*. i will be getting about 8 pounds of pork belly here at some point and will more than likely make a couple different types of bacon. will def. put up some pics.

in the meantime, here is the yield from last nights ramen broth party... nearly 12 hours of cooking later

i enjoy that you're doing this asava.  i don't bring anything to the table other than admiration though

don't be fooled, it's very weird. sys taking an interest doesn't mean crap because he likes snakes. and chicat, well chicat is nothing but a hoiberg fanboy.

Call me weird or whatever if you want but I will come at you full fury for saying I am a fan of Hoiberg

i apologize. you were feeling sorry for isu in pete's meltdown thread and i was drunk so i took the opportunity to say a mean thing about you, which i didn't actually believe. as for sys, his only flaw is that he likes snakes but that alone isn't reason for anyone to discount his interest in cooking and eating the face/head of a mammal.

Here are the jowls that I was able to strip off. Looks like a more incredible pork belly...



I saved the jowls from the hogs we butchered saturday.  I threw it in with the sausage meat though. :embarrassed:

At Cochon I had a couple pigs head dishes.  One had various bits in a broth and one was a ramen in a broth (with quails egg).  Both very good.  Milder flavor than I'd imagine.  Also, lots of pig ear dishes.

It is.  We made 100lbs of german rope sausage (family recipe) and 50lbs of bulk breakfast sausage (similar to Jimmy Dean).

I didn't take as many as I should've (didn't want to seem like douchey instagram eater).

For the top chef fans, Kelly Liken did a fairly uncreative menu but was really good.  Pig's head broth with ramen and a quail egg as good.  Sliders/empenadas both good, but didn't use any parts that were too exciting.  Hosea Rosenberg's menu wasn't the best of the night, but he really went out there with using all the pieces of the pig.  Was good to see when overall, chefs played it safe.  The guy from the Four Season's in-house restaurant won.  He had a s'mores desert was insane and he did the best job of melding creativity with quality.

I know a small timey local morgue that sells people heads for $2.50/lb.   If you pay extra they'll leave the boogers in so you can do whatever you sickos do with that sort of thing.

Also, I bet if you cut a deal with animal control you could probably score some pre-flattened cats.  Very tender.
