  • Souse meat is a delicious treat this time of year on the homestead. We raise and process our own hogs each fall/winter and with that comes lots of delicious treats! You could call this a delicacy around here!

    Hey y'all, I'm Meagan. My husband Andy and I grew up in rural NC and as newlyweds, decided we wanted something more than the typical American lifestyle. So we started growing our own food, I learned to can and so started this passion of food preservation and knowing where our food comes from.
    Even though we grew up around this lifestyle, we still had to learn for ourselves, the ways of our ancestors before us. We now grow a huge portion of our food, including our own meat.
    High society and MSM want you to think you don't have time to grow, preserve and cook your own food from scratch, but I am here to help you along the way. As a working mother of 2 on a busy little farm, there is time, we just have to prioritize it.
    Through my weekly videos, I'll show you how to prepare easy meals cooked from scratch, tips on preserving your garden harvest and the occasional farm video. Live life on YOUR terms

    Pork broth is amazing for cooking beans! Add a little liquid smoke or a slab of ham or hocks...can't beat it! The souse looks really good.

    The local Walmart (somewhere in SE Nebraska) sells whole,frozen, vacuum packed hog heads about 2 - 3 times a year (assuming because of the high hispanic population, - we have a Smithfield processing plant just outside of town). I pick up my pig trotters from the local hispanic grocery stores already cleaned and split (there's a few of them to choose from).
    The addition of white corn meal can be added to make scrapple too.

    Soushead? I think there are other names, but not sure. I would probably like it. Never was any part of an animal disrespected by mistreatment or by throwing away any part that could be used. Respect for the land and respect for the animals who fed them. A Godly way of life with thanksgiving for everything HE provided for their family.

      There are some who say the blessing before they eat which is a good thing. Then there are some who will give thanks for the food they are about to eat which is also a good thing.

    My mother made homemade hog head cheese and she packed it in jars. To this day the only thing I have a struggle to resist at the supermarket is souse meat. I'm basically a vegetarian who only eats meat when it's more convenient than fruits and vegetables which isn't that often. I can walk by the beef, chicken bacon and sausage section and not even give them a thought. But souse meat I really have a struggle with resisting it.. I buy some once or twice a year and usually eat the entire package at one time as if it's an addiction. It's that good.

    My grandmother just passed away in early July. She absolutely loved souse (Zigler's Souse specifically). She was very content with a fried slab of souse and a cold can of Pepsi.
    I never liked souse as a kid. But now I want to try it again as a sorta memorial to MaMa. Sadly, I can't find it in my local stores anymore. So, I may have to try out this recipe for it.

    • @TrueGritAppalachianWays
      @TrueGritAppalachianWays  11 месяцев назад +2

    I've never made souse meat myself but family definitely has. I'll never forget opening up a freezer when Justin and I were just dating and there was a hog head sitting there. Lol It's something I will certainly do when we get to a point where we raise our own hogs. Thank you so much for sharing! ❤️

    I've worked in meat markets for 20 years, and I've sold a lot of souse meat. Today was the first day I ever tried it. After talking bad about it for so long, I have to admit I was wrong.
    That stuff is darn good.

      Amen man, when I was still living at home as a teen my daddy would make me souse meat sandwiches alot when I was working for a bull beef unit for a university. Lady in video mentioned eating it warm, uum uum uh. In the early fall I would pitch my sack lunch on my old '66 Chevy metal pickup dash and by lunchtime my mayonnaise souse meant sandwiches were nice and warm, heaven to eat.

      It is but it ain't. Vinegar and fine mincing/grinding make it Souse.
      Head cheese is cubed/chunked and has more aspic (gellatin) and is eaten cold.

    • @carfvallrightsreservedwith6649
      @carfvallrightsreservedwith6649 6 месяцев назад +1

      ​​ You must be a baker..., leaf lard is the finest. Ask them to do same with beef suet so you can make some tallow. You'll never eat better French fries (twice cooked).

    • @TrueGritAppalachianWays
      @TrueGritAppalachianWays  5 месяцев назад

      I’m not sure how it would hold together but it’s maybe worth a try! The collagen in the head also helps the loaf hold together, best of luck!

    • @carfvallrightsreservedwith6649
      @carfvallrightsreservedwith6649 6 месяцев назад

      Addition of vinegar plus finely mincing (if not ground/blended) makes it Souse.
      Head cheese meat is chunked/cubed and more aspic (gellatin) is present. If tried to cook the aspic will melt so it's eaten cold.

      @carfvallrightsreservedwith6649 I love souse but being from Miami, FL we make a different version of it (still using the parts of a pig minus the brain and the snout). Check out the RUclips video HOW TO MAKE: PORK SOUSE🐷😋. As far as escargot I have never had it. Tried oysters on the shell fresh with a sprinkle of hot sauce and it was not my jam! Quail not squad (and it didnt taste like chicken lol) fish eggs not so bad.
