I am a American butcher and I make my staff watch your videos because you are spot on man and we are know over filled with orders after adopting your way of butchering. thank you for the videos
Mesar Albujeyash there's nothing grammatically incorrect about the phrase "American butcher." It just means that he's a butcher who lives in America. We all know you don't eat pork, now fuck off.
masei Albu Chinese and indians love rats on a stick so hey, some people eat pigs, and some don't. I don't give a shit if you don't, or do. So why bringing this into discussion ? If someone wants to eat it contrair to your believes , he is free to do so . I for example don't like camel meat , because i heard sheep herders back you place, rape them every night, and i wouldn't put camel meat in my mouth. :D
Excellent stuff -- i trained in butchery as a young chef in the 70's with the Meat and Livestock Commission -- modern chefs just dont seem to have the butchery skills to use meat with respect eg to use the lot. Your skills and total use of product pays respect to the animal which gave its life for our food.. respect sir..
I don’t know why, but dealing with the head of any animal is very difficult. This looks amazing and what a great video. I’ve tried several of your recipes and find them easy to follow. Thanks mate.
Used to make this near Christmas with my dad. Haven't had it in 40 years, but that will change this Christmas ...nice vid and thanks for the memory, as my dad has been gone now for 15 years..
I really appreciate the time, effort and detail that you put into your videos. I also appreciate how you use every bit of the animals you prepare. Thank you for the priceless information!
OMG! I made this, not once but twice! First time I fallowed you step by step. (no press, lots of foil wrapped bricks involved ) second time I replaced the parsley with cilantro (forgot it at the store and my garden wasn't giving it up) both ways are amazing. After all this was cooked up. I added collard greens to the broth that was left along with some fatback. Honey the heavens opened, the angels sang, and I now have 6 quick meals in my freezer when I make corn bread. Thank you so much. I had a lot of fun(once I got past those couple of tricky places my knife didn't seem to want to go)😊😊😀😀
Man, what an effort. Thanks for sharing. Just ordered an old Meat Press. Now I"m calling the butcher for a pig's head. There's a restaurant in Chicago called "Girl and The Goat" and she has an appetizer called Pigface. They pan sear the slices and serve them with mustard, cornichons and pickled vegetables. I so want to do this. Thanks Mr. Rea.
Came in here wondering what you would do with it. That's some great meat (i love jowl) that a lot of people would let go to waiste (since they have become so disconected from the animal that provides the meat). Truly you have made your craft to an art. Best Wishes from Holland!
Brings a tear to the eye Scott, especially the finished product. I could fare taste it, it verges on cruelty just having to watch you slice and taste without having a bite myself. L'm tempted to have a go myself, but what do I do with the wife while I'm at it? Another wonderful video, brings back memories of days gone bye, when you'd get this at the Pork Butchers up town.
Wow Scott! This reminds me of my military service in Germany, when I was introduced to "head cheese!" The best open faced sandwiches that I've ever had... OK, now I'm drooling! Lol
A friend of mine here in Missouri used to bbq pig snout it was so freaking good I didn't think I'd like it ,I was wrong, very good ,I'm not sure how to prepare it but my friend does i will never forget how good it was ,he passed away a few yrs back but every friday night it was pig snout on the grill, mm so good,I wish he would have the recipe theres no way I could do it,it was great
Incredible. In italy we call that "coppa di testa", i love it, one of the cheapest and tastiest cold cuts out there, but it's hard to find cause we are losing this kind of tradition and younger generations tend to be picky (i am 24 and i am the only one i know my age eating this, or tonfue etc). Lovely to see how this culinary traditions are shared all across europe thou
We have a similar dish in Nova Scotia called "potted head". My Grampy used to make it. We just take the organs out of the pigs or calf's head (eyes, tongue and brain) and cook the whole head for hours and hours with onions and summer savory. after its cooked the meat and onions are layered in a dish the the liquid is poured over it. I know there was pressing involved. If you do iy right there is a nice layer of aspic around it. It's served at room temperature with mustard beans (a pickle) and potatoes. I wish I had paid more attention to the process. Your video brought back some memories for me. Thank you
Ryan . I'm Nova Scotian as well. Mom and Dad made ' head cheese' from the head. It was pressed and had a distinct flavour. Like you, I should have paid more attention. As a kid I thought the process revolting so head cheese was always made during school hours. 😊
For some reason, when you started cutting the head at the end after it had been pressed, it made my eyes tear up. The pride you took in your work, the way the meat came out, the old press, it reminded me of this quote from a book by Edith Nesbit: "it had been made in the days when men sang over their work and put their hearts into it, so that the things they made were strong." If only things were still made like this, more often. I feel like great damage has been done, or something very important was lost by my generation and even the ones before it, young people who grew up on only meat made and processed by large corporations, and not just the meat, but everything else, until they no longer remember how to make these things and would even look at them as disgusting or strange. I want to change that, which is why I am so fascinated by your videos, even as someone who grew up during this recent time, when it is so hard to find food like this, or even impossible, unless you cook it yourself. I want my one day children to get to eat food like this. Thank you for keeping tradition and knowledge alive, and instilling it to people like this.
I agree, I personally think it's hypocritical of people to love eating tons of meat but recoil away from certain parts because they remind them that they are eating bits of a dead animal. People should either eat nose to tail, not waste half the meat out of disgust, and get back in touch with what they're putting in their bodies, or stop eating meat. Living in a way that we are totally detached from the natural world that we are dependent on is unhealthy, both for the planet and for us as a culture.
Scott Rea is the best, even if you don't enjoy the butchery aspect, his sense of humor is something everyone can enjoy. Much love from your friend across the pond.
I've only just started watching this channel, and it earned an instant subscription! I'll admit, I did shy away at the thought of eating any part of a pigs head, but having seen the magic Scott has worked previously, I knew it would be worth a go. I can honestly say I'm in awe! Think I'll go get myself a nice pigs head now!
Question: Is that normally served cool/cold? I feel like if you fried it for a little bit (just to get a crispy outside) that would make an awesome hot sandwich.
anabolicmind Like a deep fryer? Idk about this for sure, but in a skillet, its only cooking one side at a time, so maybe the cooler side holds it together while the other side is frying...my best guess anyway
usually served cold. You could fry it a bit, but the gelatin would melt so you would lose its shape. I think fried would excellent. You could also pickle it in this final stage of preparation with a bit of white vinegar and salt and served cold.
Just ordered a whole hogs head from my local butcher here in Nashville TN USA. The guy knew your video, and asked me if I had watched it...lol! Beautiful job mate!
Fantastic !!! I just bought a young tender hog (109lbs) I messed up and let them cut the trotters off. But I kept the head on. Can't wait to try this. Ty mate!!! I'm from Holden Beach North Carolina.ive just started watching your videos and absolutely love them.
I've never heard of Coleman's Mustard until I started watching your videos. Now I'm going through 3 bottles a week. They're $5 a bottle in Oz.... Shame on you for spreading the addiction.
Friggin awesome. My nan would be so proud to see something she use to do. Pigs head was cheap meat and this is the result I will always remember, she even had one of those presses! Pass me the brown sauce. Thanks for posting this and save some for me :-)
I'm Chinese and it seemed like nobody but us enjoyed this cut at first before I found your video. It's very interesting to see your way of preparing this cut in a western manner. Also, do you eat the brains too? Much respect.
Lots of recipes started with either ways to make it last for long periods of time (like pies) or medicinal/religious reasons. Mixes of salt, sugar, spice, etc had different effects on the body. They thought if you had anger problems, or were cholic, etc. That things could be corrected through diet.
I am about to buy a whole pig for 120 us dollars. she weighs almost 300 lbs. I am butchering her with a friend, and I will definitely be using the head for this. looks Alot like spam, which I love. thanks for the wonderful idea.
This has got to be one of your best creations. From what it was to what it became is amazing. You waste nothing with a pig. I appreciate that you have shown how to use every part of a pig. Nothing goes to waste. People have become so wasteful especially in the west. All the meat that gets tossed out when it could be utilized is a real shame.
Hello Scott from Quebec, Canada. I was wondering if you ever made Haggis, i would very much like to try it and since you are so good with cuts of meat that no one else would work with, you know! Thank you for letting me know if you have or will ever do it!
Yep Found it and I will certainly make it! We don't have sheep on lamb lungs available but i've seen veal lungs at an asian grocery nearby! Bon appétit!
Somewhere, out there, in an alternate dimension, there's a bipedal pig kissing the nose of a dead man with a Mars bar in his mouth. Don't get me wrong, I love butchery too.It's just me being morbid.
Sorry Das ist das Geilste was ich in meinem Leben gesehen habe Scott, Du bist ein Hammer Mustard habe ich schon Der beste Senf den es auf der Welt gibt Maximum
Top video. Anyone can chuck a steak in pan but to use everything is to respect that something had to die to give you meat. When you can get results like that with head who wants smoke flavoured water injected loin bacon?
So I'm an American and have never heard of this before. The process was fascinating and the end result was beautiful. I find my mouth is watering looking at that. At 15:07 when you were holding it up I was like yeah I would eat that in a second. Great video man!
Scott rea my wife and I have watched your videos over and over again. I grew up in a butcher shop and now we do all our own in rural pa us. We have done braum, and blood sausage. Next is haggis and pork pies. Do you have any Mutton (not lamb) recipies. Steve and tracy sutter
My local butcher here in the USA was blown away when I called in and asked to be informed when the next whole hog came in, so I could buy the head. I pick it up today! He asked me why? And I told him all about you...lol! He is excited to be expanding his business and is thinking of starting a "craft class" to share techniques and the art of your amazing craft!
And YOU ARE THE MASTER of your trade! This is just amazing! I wish, I could easily buy a pig's head here in the USA in CT. Apparently, it is easier to buy a gun in half an hour than finding a pig's head in a half a year.
wow! u turned that kinda "discusting" head (no offence, it's just that i would not eat something that looks like a pigs head) -to something that looked like a realy rough ham, it looks soo good. u realy make the whole pig count.
Way back in the late 40s, in London, my aunt used to roast pigs cheeks when she could get one.(food was rationed then) I can still taste it now. Delicious!! I've been tempted to try doing it myself. Here in Thailand pigs heads are available and after watching your deboning I must have a go at it.
Mmmmm delicioso fiambre de cabeza Gracias por compartir tus deliciosas recetas agradecida De Chile te sigo. Bendiciones. Genial el prensador. Quiero unooooooo
You're showing that animal so much respect by you're nose to tail approach and you're handling of it. Well done and another grand video, keep them coming.
Loving your videos Scott, I've learned a lot just by watching. One question on this video though that I apparently missed: what does one call the press you used, and are they still made today or are they something one might find at an estate or boot sale? Thanks in advance and carry on!
Great job but you are far to careless when it comes to knife safety. Deep hand /nerve cuts can take months to heal , if ever ! Wear a glove on your left hand ! I know of a butcher who cut his hand through the back of his thumb joint , nerves cut , would not heal properly , had several operations to correct , still not right , put him out of the industry in the end .
Scott, once again you proved your great value as a butcher! Man, you worked miracles with this head, have eaten lots of them but nothing like this !!My respect!!
I’m so glad I found this video. I’m British but live in America now and Ive had sheep’s head dishes before but never pigs. I noticed walmart has started selling pigs heads and they are pretty reasonably priced at 97c/pound but I was unsure about what to make with one. Since lunch meats are sooooo high priced these days I might give something like this a go. I don’t have a press of any kind though but might could make one out of a loaf pan, some wood and some G clamps…I think it might work. I bet this is good in a hearty sandwich with some sliced pickled beets.
My grandfather used to buy head cheese at a little grocery store in kansas bring it back to the farm. A little mustard and two pieces of bread makes a wonderful sandwich. Especially when sharing that with your grandfather which I admired greatly!
brooklyn slaughterhouse ; so sorry but maybe your ears need a little cleaning he said "muslin" its a very porous weave white cloth, you couldn't wrap pork in a muslim, muslim's don't eat pork !!!

What city and state are you in ?

Hope you teach them to follow safety regulations and remove rings before work!
They're more like dogs than rats. You probably eat goats. Goats are also tasty but closer genetically speaking to rats

That guy just sticks his fingers into a boiling pot and doesnt even flinch. Thats hardcore.
Scott is so metal
He stuck it in twice. Hahaha...
he really is pretty bad ass! let's see Alton Brown do that!
That is std procedure. However, rigs and watch shouldn't be there. If time is of the essence, a clock on the opposite wall is best.
It's rock and roll butchery, baby!
People!
This Butcher/Chef is Brilliant! He actually made pigs 🐷 head very appetizing! Fantastic!
Came in here wondering what you would do with it. That's some great meat (i love jowl) that a lot of people would let go to waiste (since they have become so disconected from the animal that provides the meat). Truly you have made your craft to an art. Best Wishes from Holland!

Well said. Screw modern society and the scared, desperate way people cling to social acceptance and cultural norms.
I never knew there was that much good meat in a pig's head.
Fantastic!

i have whatched this video a lot! one of my favorites! you have taught me a lot about butchery and cooking! thank you for what you do!
I using it too from time to time, the British Orirginals, sauses, powders, etc are the best at my opinion, it´s worth the extra money.
That's proper mustard lad - not like the American stuff. Put hairs on your chest.

id eat haggis tho.
You sir, are brilliant!
I am about to buy a whole pig for 120 us dollars. she weighs almost 300 lbs. I am butchering her with a friend, and I will definitely be using the head for this. looks Alot like spam, which I love. thanks for the wonderful idea.

Hello Scott from Quebec, Canada.
I was wondering if you ever made Haggis, i would very much like to try it and since you are so good with cuts of meat that no one else would work with, you know!
Thank you for letting me know if you have or will ever do it!
Hi mate.i have a haggis video.go to my channel and you will find it.or, just search how to make haggis and you will see it.all the best . Scott
Yep Found it and I will certainly make it!
We don't have sheep on lamb lungs available but i've seen veal lungs at an asian grocery nearby!
Bon appétit!
wow, my mouth got so watery. i would try that no doubt. it look's amazingly delicious..yum

You are soft. Get out from your room and travel. Pig head, feets and blood susages are the best
I can see the eyes of these poor things ..never want to eat it again..
Seriously? That sound like an idea for a horror movie.
Sorry

Top video. Anyone can chuck a steak in pan but to use everything is to respect that something had to die to give you meat. When you can get results like that with head who wants smoke flavoured water injected loin bacon?
When I was a butcher, we use to bone out pigs heads a put the meat in the sausages.
You are a master butcher i think. I like your channel more than anyother butchery channels. Great work.
Im from Norway, and I make this every x-mas...served with mustard,butter and "lefse" ( a potatotortilla)
So I'm an American and have never heard of this before. The process was fascinating and the end result was beautiful. I find my mouth is watering looking at that. At 15:07 when you were holding it up I was like yeah I would eat that in a second. Great video man!
Scott rea my wife and I have watched your videos over and over again. I grew up in a butcher shop and now we do all our own in rural pa us. We have done braum, and blood sausage. Next is haggis and pork pies. Do you have any Mutton (not lamb) recipies. Steve and tracy sutter
Awesome video. You are a great old school butcher and cook. Love the press. More videos
"you can not beat a bit of head in the Morning" lol no sir that cannot be topped;)

And this comment has 69 thumbs up!
Lmfao
That was awesome Scott
Be lovely in a sandwich, looks very professional. Any idea on how much pigs heads are?
+JamFilling Very cheap my friend,less than a fiver,sometimes free if youve got a good relationship with your butcher,cheers
$60 in Memphis, Tn, USA
JamFilling About 125.oo for a whole pig. The head is usually thrown away or used in makeup.
I paid £2.99 for one from my butcher in England in Oct 2017.
My local butcher here in the USA was blown away when I called in and asked to be informed when the next whole hog came in, so I could buy the head. I pick it up today! He asked me why? And I told him all about you...lol! He is excited to be expanding his business and is thinking of starting a "craft class" to share techniques and the art of your amazing craft!
Oh the puns in the beginning.... :)
My dream is to establish a fine charcuterie in Egypt... There are a lot of Christians waiting for! Thank you very much Mr Rea!
this looks bomb, made me so hungry I wanted to try it. I was tonguing for a taste when you sliced it
And YOU ARE THE MASTER of your trade! This is just amazing! I wish, I could easily buy a pig's head here in the USA in CT. Apparently, it is easier to buy a gun in half an hour than finding a pig's head in a half a year.
is that what we call hoghead cheesw here in Louisiana?

wait. he hasn't figured out a use for the pigs eyeballs?! I'm a little disappointed, no obscure medieval recipe from France?
Way back in the late 40s, in London, my aunt used to roast pigs cheeks when she could get one.(food was rationed then) I can still taste it now. Delicious!! I've been tempted to try doing it myself. Here in Thailand pigs heads are available and after watching your deboning I must have a go at it.
I'd put that in a sandwich, and bam lunch for a week.
Mmmmm delicioso fiambre de cabeza Gracias por compartir tus deliciosas recetas agradecida De Chile te sigo. Bendiciones. Genial el prensador. Quiero unooooooo
This must break David Cameron's heart.
Just kidding, he doesn't have one.

You're showing that animal so much respect by you're nose to tail approach and you're handling of it. Well done and another grand video, keep them coming.
As for me, I have no words
That is really a fantastic recipe. Thank you very much. I prepared together with salad and fried potatoes. Food from heaven for us.
Loving your videos Scott, I've learned a lot just by watching. One question on this video though that I apparently missed: what does one call the press you used, and are they still made today or are they something one might find at an estate or boot sale?
Thanks in advance and carry on!
done with a touch of humor, unlike most other cooking demos.
Great job but you are far to careless when it comes to knife safety. Deep hand /nerve cuts can take months to heal , if ever ! Wear a glove on your left hand ! I know of a butcher who cut his hand through the back of his thumb joint , nerves cut , would not heal properly , had several operations to correct , still not right , put him out of the industry in the end .
Doesn't matter long as you're careful and not rushing you'll be good
"Rock-n-roll butchery"....it certainly IS! Terrific vid. Thanks.
david cameron just cried hus eyes out
this is the best debone i saw on TH-cam! thanks for sharing
Hi! Scott, Brilliant as usual. When you picked up the skull and open and closed the jaw I absolutely pee'd myself. The wife things I;m mad.
Spud
Scott, once again you proved your great value as a butcher! Man, you worked miracles with this head, have eaten lots of them but nothing like this !!My respect!!
Why am i here, youtube suggestions?
Me too, what have I watched that made YT think I'd want to watch this
I have the same question.
Do you regret clicking? Though not.
TH-cam thought you could use a smile. You get a big one in the beginning of the vid. :-)
I’m so glad I found this video. I’m British but live in America now and Ive had sheep’s head dishes before but never pigs. I noticed walmart has started selling pigs heads and they are pretty reasonably priced at 97c/pound but I was unsure about what to make with one. Since lunch meats are sooooo high priced these days I might give something like this a go. I don’t have a press of any kind though but might could make one out of a loaf pan, some wood and some G clamps…I think it might work. I bet this is good in a hearty sandwich with some sliced pickled beets.
Better than what David Cameron would do
My grandfather used to buy head cheese at a little grocery store in kansas bring it back to the farm. A little mustard and two pieces of bread makes a wonderful sandwich. Especially when sharing that with your grandfather which I admired greatly!
What am I doing here, what the hell :D
Susan King who
you talking to ?
Scott you are a culinary king. Thank you!
We all know what David Cameron does with a pig's head...
just bought myself a press like this, should be here tomorrow cant wait to give this a go
Mustard???!!! on that beautiful piece of meat? I am shocked. I would have made some of the reduction into a dipping sauce just by thickening it.
+rladd622 Mustard is the traditional condiment for charcuterie. Very classic, very French. Not sure what all your ??? & !!! are about.
Because I would never put mustard on a nice cut of meat...
to each his own. there's room for all. Just to be nit-picky. That's not a "cut of meat" It's a forced meat and charcuterie prepared meat.
MaddenManification you are correct, I just disagree with using mustard which masks all the wonderful flavors
Well, we both agree, we would enjoy eating that.
You re the best butcher ever Scott !!!!!
Lmao he said wrap it in Muslim cloth
brooklyn slaughterhouse ; so sorry but maybe your ears need a little cleaning he said "muslin" its a very porous weave white cloth, you couldn't wrap pork in a muslim, muslim's don't eat pork !!!
I've made it today and it's an amazing taste. I didn't have a press, but I improvised.
Thank you Scott.
