Bugged Posted March 10, 2011 Share Posted March 10, 2011 My parents have prepared pork crackling and I've tried it. And maybe I'll give pig cheeks another try some day (or maybe I already have without knowing it). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bugged Posted March 10, 2011 Share Posted March 10, 2011 For clarification, dt should have stressed that these cheeks are off the head of a pig. On a related note, last month, a friend was going on about how yummy mackeral cheeks are. I was imagining how much work would go into cutting the cheeks off a mackeral, and just how many one would need to make a meal. Apparently they're "not inexpensive, but worth it." 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dieseltaylor Posted March 10, 2011 Author Share Posted March 10, 2011 I had a hunt for mackeral cheeks and came across this amazing [i many ways] review of the Loft Project ... before the link this is a flavour Course 10: Beef Cheeks Cooked in Hay, Onion & Roses While presented in a simple fashion, there was a lot more going on flavor-wise than was immediately on show. Whatever they did to those beef cheeks, they were out of this world. Soft and intensely flavorsome, they were complemented (and I would say lightened) by the acidic astringency (both sweet and sour) of the beer- and rose-pickled onions, with the brown butter and thyme oil adding a further notes of harmonious delight. The way that the sharp rose flavor lifted the beef cheek was phenomenal and definitely one of the best flavor combinations of the meal. http://www.qype.co.uk/place/1440613-The-Loft-Project-London 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Emrys Posted March 11, 2011 Share Posted March 11, 2011 When it comes to eating weird stuff, the British Isles are hard to beat, although the Swedes seem bent on giving them a run for the money. And then of course there are the Chinese... Michael 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
