It might look like a lot of meat but it is mainly skin and fat, I'm not complaining but it makes a very rich and filling dish. Alas this beauty lost his ear between the abattoirs and my place. There is a large piece of meat in the cheek and another nugget behind the eye. That's new potatoes mixed in with the onions and cooking juices with watercress added at the end.
Tonight I am giving up pork, well I am having head cheese, but I am concentrating on beef. Steak and kidney pie followed by a calf's foot, (in reality a cow's foot as calf's foot is hard to find in Toronto) and blood orange jelly. Luckily I have adventurous dinner guests.

okay. you are so my hero.
As one of the intrepid eaters: another fine meal disected ingested and enjoyed. Have to say that the jelly was amazing, pure, clean and if you wanted leftovers, you should have taken the spoons away. Its what I want to eat when I go into a decline and must eat from a doily-lined tray...
Jealousy does not begin to describe my feelings right now - I can imagine if that was half as tasty as it looks, it would have been amazing. You are truly lucky to have adventurous dinner guests - can I borrow a couple of them so that I can make things like that for dinner - my friends and my wife just won't eat the good stuff!
Beautifully glazed, crispy skin...I can smell the jus...mmm
