Pig's Head To Roll
Take the belly-piece and head of pork, rub it well with saltpetre and a
very little salt; let it lie three or four days; wash it clean; then
boil the head tender, and take off all the meat with the ears, which cut
in pieces. Have ready four neats' feet, also well boiled; take out the
bones, cut the meat in thin slices, mix it with the head, and lay it
with the belly-piece: roll it up tight, and bind it up, and set it on
one end, with a trencher upon it; set it within the tin, and place a
heavy weight upon that, and let it stand all night. In the morning take
it out, and bind it with a fillet; put it in some salt and water, which
must be changed every four or five days. When sliced, it looks like
brawn. It is also good dipped in butter and fried, and eaten with melted
butter, mustard, and vinegar: for that purpose the slices should be only
about three inches square.
