Headcheese recipe is mostly from Ruhlman, but I also looked at Grigson's charcuterie book as well. Though people keep telling me Bertolli's recipes are the best in this domain, which I keep forgetting. Cecily: But of course. And very nice. Much better than mine (unsurprisingly).

This is amazing. Did you get the head from a butchering class at the Brooklyn Kitchen? Or elsewhere? How did you find the headcheese technique/recipe? Books? I am amazed... looks tasty, too.

I tried to pry them out with the tongs after the whole thing was done, but the muscles holding it in the socket were so taut from being cooked that I gave up and just left them in there. I don't even know why I bothered trying to remove them in the first place; the Brooklyn Kitchen people (who hold the butchering demo and usually have to take the head home since few people are willing to and who, consequently, have made headcheese 3 or 4 times this year already) mentioned doing it, so I thought I had to too. Turn out no. The brain, however, DOES melt away. It's apparently 1/3 fat and mostly cholesterol, and I think it comprises the majority of the greyish clumpy scum I had to skim off the surface while the head was simmering. Man, to think all consciousness and intelligence is basically buried in a big ball of cholesterol. Makes me look at orca-fat dudes in a whole new light. The eyes are still in there.
