Head

I was at work the other day and realized we had whole wild boar.   I brought the head home to see what I could do with it.

Wild boar is a very tasty animal,  has a more porky,  game kind if flavour.   It is quite extordinary.  This wild boar comes from the Ottawa area. 

There are many recipes utilizing a hog head.   There is a lot of natural gelatin in the head which can be set into a terrine or pate. 

There are also alot of different parts to the head.   The cheeks have amazing flavour and so does the jowl.   The ears can also be used. 

I am still uncertain what type of dish I will be making with it but I know I will be using the whole head,  even the left over bones will be used in a stock
