What's the deal with pig's head?!
Yesterday I saw someone on TV say you can't buy a pig's head anymore!. They implied there was a reason we should be familiar with why you can't buy one anymore, like it was illegal or something!. Then today I saw a guy in a restaurant (on TV again) de-boning a pig's head to make something to serve in his restaurant!. Now, I have no desire for pig's head, I'm just curious why buying a pig's head would be prohibited, and curious to know if it is actually prohibited!. Does anyone know!?Www@FoodAQ@Com

The beauty of pig cheeks!. Tender meat that is delicious!. There are ears and snout too!. It's the "head to tail" concept of cooking!. In the states a lot of meat product is wasted because it comes from what is thought to be unsavory parts of the animal!. When you travel you come in close contact with all sorts of parts of the animal that is not thrown away!.
Pig's head can be purchased in the states but it's usually a special order from a butcher!. To my knowledge it's not illegal to have or own a pigs head!. And don't get me started about goat or lambs head!.!.!.!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
