I don`t use pigs head these days. I had enough of cooking pigs head in the old days. I could make brawn when I was 11. Mutton and barley yes, lovely in the winter0

I most definitely know how to cook and bake. I was very lucky to receive very thorough Home Economics at school and even won the school prize for it. However, I would never use the ingredients mentioned by the OP. I will always remember watching my Nanny boil up a head of some description and retching. That has never left me!!I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer.
Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration.
I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over and through me. When it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path.
When the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain.0 -
Well I have never cooked them but when I was a small girl my mum would send me to the butchers with one of my old prams to pick up loads for our dogs.
One day an elderly lady stopped me on my walk home for a little chat and peered in my pram - you should have seen the look on her face!0 -
I don't cook stuff like that cos I don't like it - mutton yes but I loath barley! I make pate but I prefer game and duck liver to pigs. I'm not scared of bits of dead creature, and certainly don't exist on a diet of fast food - there is plenty of happy middle ground between boiling pigs heads and maccy d's!People seem not to see that their opinion of the world is also a confession of character.

I can't get mutton from my local butcher
Shame, I love it in a curry.
Trotters and pig/sheep/any other sort of heads would not go down well in my house as I have a fairly squeamish husband (and I don't fancy it much myself, to be honest) but we do quite happily cook and eat the rabbits that my boss's dog keeps catching, they are delicious and free0 -

Ditto (though I'm 25), but I do have bunnies and pigeon in the freezer and I do cook the rabbit but I tend to get DH to cook the pigeon as I don't eat it.
OP, I think most of us on Old Style cook pretty well whatever our age, so like a previous poster said, you're preaching to the convertedJune Grocery Challenge £493.33/£500 July £/£500
