==Ox head==

This recipe for cooking an ox head comes from the marvelous book: [[:Cookbook: Food In England]]

I only add it for a bit of fun because I can't image that you would be able to obtain a complete ox head very easily.

Our local Sainsbury's doesn't stock them.

{{RecipeIngredients
| 1 ox head
| A few [[peppercorns]]
| A bunch of fresh [[herbs]]
}}
===Method===
{{RecipeMethod
|Get this prepared by the butcher, who will send it to you split in two.
| Lay it in strong salty water overnight and rinse under a briskly running tap til thoroughly clear. The tongue should be salted separately.
|Put the head into a pan with water to cover, a few peppercorns, salt ,a bunch of herbs , and vegetable trimmings.
| Simmer till the [[bones]] and meat all fall to pieces, then drain into a basin.
| Take out every scrap of bone and gristle and chop the meat finely, sprinkling with powdered herbs and pepper.
| Press into a mould set with a weight on top, and turn out when cold.
| Garnish with parsley and serve with pickles and roast potatoes.
| The broth, strained and boiled with oatmeal, onions, or a strongly flavoured vegetable such as celery, makes a meaty soup.
}}

''Note'': Be sure you put the remnants, [[bones]], vegetables, etc., out for the fowls to pick clean. There is enough miscellaneous picking on an ox-head to keep an industrious hen busy for hours
