It is more or less a gelatinous mass with chunks of meat throughout that is
sliced and served much as luncheon meat is. It is basically made by boiling
a pig's head with brains and tongue and all until it falls apart. You remove
the tasty bits, discard the bones and let the whole mass cool to a gelatin
under a weight. Depending on which PA Dutch group your background includes it
may or may not also contain vinegar. Our branch calls the vinegar abomination
'souse'. :-).
For more information, check in Stefan's files. This was discussed extensively
on this list a while back.
Anyone desiring a recipe please contact me privately and I will post it ASAP.
