Authentic Souse Loaf aka Hog Head Cheese aka Pig Head Terrine.

[@r8drvr819]

I helped my Granny make "souse meat" in the 50's in a cast iron kettle under a wood fire, and you brought all those memories back; Thanks!!!!!

[@hairybaldwin1663]

Just recently discovered your show, and I LOVE it. I'm a 76 y/o woman. Grew up on a little farm in Pa. I remember butchering days when I was little. I remember souse. I remember liver pudding. We never ate chitling, but since I watched your show, I want some. My dad liked pickled pigs feet- me too. Keep up good shows.

[@kevinmiller2305]

Well its 4am and I just cant quit watching your videos, I like how well you cover your recipes and keep us interested in what a lot of people have forgotten how to do. keep them coming thank you

[@sneakeey1]

Thank you Kevin! I really appreciate that!

[@sneakeey1]

#1 The devil didn't make me cook pork; I did! #2 I can understand and appreciate you religion and beliefs. What do you tell a person that doesn't believe as you do? You will debate with a person that believes your religion is false that theirs is? #3 You seriously believe that the "All Mighty" will forgive you for murder, adultery, stealing and incest if you ask for forgiveness, but will send you to hell for bacon? Thanks for your comment!

[@nathanhollis8496]

This is the best cooking video I have ever seen in my entire life. Now I want to make it.... Thank you sir for taking the time to make it.

[@Spoonman6061]

I am a professional chef and it is a wonderful thing to see the old school traditions still being made and passed along. I just got a whole pigs head for free because the people did not want it. Pig cheeks when cured and smoked make the best bacon (guanciale). I have made many terrines and pates. I also bout a whole pig and nothing was wasted. I have prosciutto hanging that i made along with salami capricola and pancetta You are awsome keep up the great work you make us proud. God bless

[@sneakeey1]

You are very welcome. Thank you for your support!

[@rainyhollowell2280]

It's got to be good! You put so much love into it! Enjoyed watching!

[@ProphetessRosieMFinleyBruner]

I DID IT!!!!!!!!! Thanks for the information Daddy Cooks. I did it for the New Year it was great, I did as you instructed, wonderful outcome. Thank you and God blessings to you and yours!

[@nicholastanner4703]

I made it too I love it

[@leoneadyjr2556]

My Dad (R.I.P.) used to make this and it was great!! He would make sausage twice a year so he'd make Souse for me to bring back to fam in MD as well

[@estherfelder4692]

,good job, nice and clean....

[@brandono.3307]

Been a rough day. But seeing how happy you where that the head Cheese came out right. And even your daughter thought it was good was cool. Thank you sir.

[@JohnMassari]

I totally dig your cooking style!

[@kevinmyers3553]

I am so glad that I searched for this. Souse is something that was popular and regular among the older generations in our family. Most of the older generation is gone now and those that do remain never attempted to make Souse. We have family reunions every two(2) years and this year in august we will assemble in Virginia Beach, Va. I am going to make some Souse and take it to reunion. We have had some awesome chefs in our family and this years sponsors want us to try to gather as many recipes of our ancestors as we can to create a Myers Family Cookbook. I'm going to work with your recipe and twerk it until I can get something similar to the taste I remember. Thanks & Be Blessed!!!!! Kevin L. Myers

[@sneakeey1]

Thank you. Please let me know how it turned out and what the family thought!

[@allendaves2001]

Man, I haven't had any hoghead cheese in over 60 years, every since my granny passed away. Thank you.

[@v_n_534]

I am so jealous that you could find the pig head so easily! I love that you added the pigs feet as well AND did a bit of side cooking to add your own flavor. What a great idea!

[@noahtipton7302]

It's usually easier than you think. Call your local store or meat packer and ask. If they don't have it they can get it for you in couple days.

[@ericplatt5749]

You know what's really funny if you didn't tell people what it is they'll love it. Well some will love it. I love all of your recipes. God bless best wishes to you and your beautiful family.

[@dellrand3628]

You can pour the left over liquid in empty mayonnaise jars and freeze them ,they are plastic and won't burst ,then you have ready made stock for gravey,soups and such .You can freeze your made from any thing else this way.

[@carolynribot5177]

Awesome! Very well explained. It is almost a documentary.

[@poeticdiva81]

I just purchased a pigs head from an Asian market I frequent and am going to try my hand at this with half if it. Thanks , this was a very informative video.

[@sneakeey1]

I am glad to hear that. Please let me know how it goes! Thanks for watching.

[@Mike-gw3uy]

Way to go...that looks good,i''ll be attempting my 1st one when my meat slicer arrives.....We need more OG's like you getting their cook on and showing us how it's done...god bless!

[@herezjohnny]

I live in south Louisiana where hog head cheese is for sale at every street corner. This is the first time I`ve see it made. Thanks for posting!

[@ronaldgass8382]

Thank you very much for your "Souse meat, aka hog head cheese recipe" My late Grandmother Betty Calland cooked this for the entire Family, in the Fall season, in the 60's. I haven't ate that since, my Mother and her Sisters, didn't like the process. I'm going to try your version of the recipe during the Christmas Break-2024. Chow :)

[@juancampos1635]

Thank you sir, great job, Thank you fir sharing your recipe I always wanted to know how to make it. Great fam.

[@younglady2789]

your hog head cheese recipe is absolutely delicious! all your cooking adventures are great. I give you a thumbs up and your family is blessed to have you!

[@wildawilliams9565]

I loved your video. My Grandmother had a hog farm in Alabama when I was a child. I was born in 1950. I remember seeing many hogs heads cooking in a pot. My Grandmother made long narrow sacks made out of cheese cloth to pack her head cheese in. Then it was soaked in vinegar. You just cut thru the cheese cloth and peeled it away. Your's look delicious. I bought some in the grocery store last year. It was horrible. My childhood memory died right there. lol Just to have a taste just one more time.

[@neicyzworld3395]

My mom made this for us all the time. She passed 17 years ago and I haven't had it since then. I'm going to be brave and make this for new years....Thanks for the recipe!

[@billhunt5407]

Great video, was a pleasure to watch brought back memories of my Grandma in Kansas. She made souse and Scrapple out of the hogs head it was fantastic, I still make scrapple today.

[@Clynyque]

I love your videos. My dad use to live souse. Beautiful family

[@jacquelinesimmons2776]

You are absolutely overjoyed!!!!! Nothing like hog head cheese!!! Thanks!!!!!!

[@ProphetessRosieMFinleyBruner]

I have finally found a place where I can purchase a hog's head. I plan on doing this for the 4th of July, along with the traditional stuff. Thank you so much for sharing your wisdom. Continued blessings to you and your family:-)

[@Universal-Tone]

LADY YOU ARE A DISGRACE TO THE REAL JESUS CHRIST!! YASHUA!!!

[@cliffordruff4404]

Brought back memories. My Mom (gone 27 years now) use to make it around holiday time. Me (now 60) have always talked to my sister about making it. Now I am on a mission. My mother used to press the mixture to squeeze out all excess liquids (fat). Once cooled overnight in our pantry, you couldn't ask for a better tasting.....Hog Head Cheese! (that's what we, born in Macon, Ga.) always called it!

[@kathyjotourtois]

i love souse. bit its hard to find in michigan. my great aunt n my mother in law make head cheese.same thing but no vinegar or heat ,just lots of garlic . i make head cheese all the time.i use pigs feet n add some pork.i like it junkie as we call it . but my husband likes it not to much junk n more meat.and we do it in a 9x13 dish and add more liquid . so it has a thick layer of gel on top .then we cut it put it on a plate n eat it with vinegar poured over it or just horseradish. its the bomb.ty

[@ShadaeBalancesKnightAstro]

My husband buys souse at least once every two weeks. He loves it and our youngest daughter loves it as well, great recipe!!!

[@michaelcheney8206]

I really want to thank you for this video! I know i'm a few years late seeing this but WOW! I lost my Gramma "BOOBEE" some few years ago and she always made this for me and I loved it, I never did have her show me how to make it (to busy eating it i guess)and I tried it once on my own,, it was a waist of everything. I came out head soup, never knew about the trotters being added. I will try this again in honor to her! Thank you soooo much.

[@francesjones1161]

Great video! My people are from Rome, Georgia and we love head cheese. There is a little market here in Indianapolis on 30th and Mass avenue called Chucks. They have the best I've tasted here. Wish I could get some of that homemade though. Thanks for sharing.

[@LisaReynolds46]

Great video, very informative and the end product looks real good! Thanks for sharing!

[@larry1567]

Daddy, you the man. I have scoured KZbin looking for a recipe that included some Veg in the final mold, and yours was the first. Great Vid, Great recipe, and tell the daughter that she was lovely in the video and shouldn't be so shy. I will be subbing.

[@dointherealme]

I'm home visiting my family for my brother's funeral this weekend. This is one of our family's FAVORITE things! My father used to make, then it was my brother's turn. Now they're both gone so I suppose it's my turn now. Thanks for the video:)

[@oliviawhite8606]

That was great, I really enjoyed watching that. It makes me want to try it myself. It's got my mouth watering. U did the dam thang.

[@sergiodeolivieraleal4412]

Very helpful ma man,I live in New Orleans and my buddy and I got a wild Russian boar(he killed it!) I kept the head,took a torch it to get rid of all hair,taking out the brine today,cooking it tonight....hope it turns out as good as yours,first time too,excited!!!

[@loudplanetlive5080]

I wouldn't ever eat the store-bought (because of eyeballs, brains and who knows what else), but I'd give this a shot. Looks good.

[@TheMsLady4Real]

Had to "Subscribe Daddy", I'm a self- trained chef! "Louisiana born and bred Diva, your recipes are close enough compliment us in almost mirror images of our Louisiana Creole & Cajun Heritage! Just Discovered you! I"m always willing to learn! We make 'hog head cheese out here, matter of fact I just finished smoking neckbone, turkey legs, chicken, and even veggies for gumbo's , dried beans, greens, soups etc! As a head and executive chef for many restaurant's big named companies ! I'm now self employed and cooking only foods that I enjoy and making a living from it so ! Do what you enjoy !

[@MrKErocks]

Your head cheese looked great! I wish I could make hog head cheese but I'm disabled and can't handle heavy bulky stuff anymore. I make something I call T 'n T ... tongue and trotters. It a terrine that tastes very similar and is easy to manage for someone like me. I sure enjoy your videos. Keep up the great work!

Definitely about to do this I'm so tired of paying high prices for stuff that people look at as crap.

[@carolynjones7542]

Great video I am cooking my head cheese as we speak my mother made it every year around Thanksgiving or Christmas and I was a chef for over 30 years and I am very familiar with this recipe and now my mom has passed away and I am keeping in tradition I just want to say you nailed it great video.

[@sneakeey1]

carolyn jones thank you very much. It was a first attempt. I really appreciate you expert opinion!

[@afowler0]

I wish I could buy some from you looks delicious. I made some chitterlings by your instructions & they were awesome

[@michelle8943301]

This was great to watch! I will be watching it one more time before i make it in the next month. Thanks

[@Trey45S]

Why am I just now seeing this! Of course I subbed after watching this video, this is an excellent, real old school way of making head cheese. Nicely done.

[@shawnrowell6195]

Thank you for sharing your process! We sell prepackaged souse at our store, but I've been toying with the idea of making some fresh. I found a source for hogs today...maybe I'll be brave enough to try when the weather starts to cool down. Thanks again!

[@sneakeey1]

If and when you do, please let me know how it turned out! Thanks for watching and commenting!

[@mad76s62]

+Daddy Cooks you use two of the best seasonings adobo and Sazon. I think me and you are the only black man who uses that LOL

[@niteline56]

Great demo! I felt just like I was there watching! Your daughter was so cute tasting it! Looks just like the hog's head cheese I grew up with thanks for your expertise!

[@ososuperpowers]

I'm from the south as well. My Dad used to make this. When I was younger we used to butcher hogs in the field. My dad would roll the hog in a drum of boiling water and I would help pull the hair. Looking back it's disgusting. However it brings back fond memories of my dad. Anyway I think you are awesome for making this video. It's like a classic that many people would never get. Thanks :)

[@jspell3539]

Great video my friend. I am a big fan of hot souse myself. I think it makes a great sandwich with a piece of pepper jack cheese and a little mayo.

[@OnlySoulMusicHere]

Hello Daddy Cooks what state wal-mart did you buy this Hog Head i stay in Baton Rouge,Louisiana...and i would like to buy 1 also...Michael G. ...Thanks!!!

Poor pig😢 but I bet it was delicious! 😂

[@2007Russdog]

Thanks Phil. I am totally addicted to your videos. I somehow found your channel by doing the "Hey, that looks cool" endless KZbin thang. Since I found your channel.. I have been stuck on watching them all weekend. You know the old saying.. Some people do... some just sit idly by and watch.. well, I guess you do!! And I sit and watch. Great entertainment as well as great information. I think I would love to hang out with you and enjoy a cold "adult" beverage or two (maybe 10 or 12) before I had to leave your house! Keep e, coming my friend! Russ in St. Petersburg Florida!

[@sneakeey1]

Thank you Russell. As you can tell from my videos, I just try things. They mostly turn out edible...lol. Thanks for such a fantastic compliment!

[@slobomotion]

sneakeey1 I had a chance to be a chef's assistant in Paris for five months to finish a short-term contract someone hadn't. I jumped on it -- normally you need two years of college to even approach such a job in France, even waiting tables. I learned how the chef ran the business, kept the books, hunted down the products and used some local subcontractors. She had a vile temper but her dishes tasted fine and the presentation was so pretty. I enjoyed doing everything extra, cleaning and helping, serving, taking orders, and running the coffee and beer bar Wednesday afternoons. I was a short order cook in the US so not afraid to be hands on and I know things have to be cleaned CONSTANTLY. Someone has to do it, ha ha! :)

[@sneakeey1]

Wow @ slobomotion! What valuable experience!

[@sneakeey1]

Thank you! You may want to add vinegar and hot sauce to your taste! Please let me know how it turned out. I am very interested!

[@slobomotion]

I subscribed to you -- I'm American, have been in France 19 years, studied in Italy -- wow did I learn some cooking there! This is a good method I've decided to try. And, I'm attempting to document it. I do two YT channels and Dailymotion and people seem to like my crude but authentic cooking clips of "real French food." You are great!

[@saranghe417]

Daddy Cooks Thank you for uploading this video, I'm originally from Missouri and ate Souse all the time. But now I live in California and cannot find it anywhere. Now with your recipe, I can enjoy it anytime I miss home. God bless you, and have a GREAT day!!!

You are very welcome. Please let me know how yours turns out!

[@jeffreybilkanich2886]

Love me some head cheese - Boar's Head brand is the best for those of us who don't want to go thru all the work do do it ourselves

[@noahtipton7302]

Agreed! The other brands are gritty and light on the aspic.

[@kennethcaine3402]

Thanks for sharing, this is by far the best explained recipe, I´ll try it next time with the spicy sauce, looks great and delicious!!

[@ronnewton606]

i love it!!! ate head cheese when i was a kid in Kentucky...want to try to make some....

[@autotechtoyota]

Thanks for the instructions to this recipe. Can I substitute the hog's head with another pig's body part?

[@loudplanetlive5080]

Yes you can use neckbones and feet.

[@patriciabooker6698]

That's what I use.

[@timwashington824]

I really enjoyed that, Thank you!!! So that's what my father was eating back in the60's and 70's but he would put it in his sandwich making me think it really was cheese I imagine his Air Force Buddy's probably made some of this on that base in Tucson.

[@sneakeey1]

I am glad I could be inspirational to you! I just did a BBQd Chicken vid. I gave you a shout out for giving me the idea! I do look at your channel from time to time!

[@velmablack864]

I make this once a year, usually around this time of the year because that is when my Mom made it when she was still here with us. My Mom used the head and feet. I am not brave enough to do the head so I use the feet, ears, snoot and ham hocks. The carrots and celery are a different touch for me. I use onions, garlic, sage, salt, red pepper flakes, parsley, and black pepper. Yours did look good and I trust it tasted good.

[@sneakeey1]

Velma Black Thank you. This was my first time making it. I used a mixture of French and Caribbean influences. It was delicious.

[@RShort223]

That'd be so much for just me, but I want to do this! You made it look so good.

[@baconlikeweight1214]

Man I’ve been subbed to channel for a minute and never saw this recipe. Great stuff!

[@KittyMama61]

I hate to admit it, but I do this for DH sometimes, after we get a hog butchered. This looks lovely, and you do a great job! Also, the tongue is very good by itself, cooks just like a pot roast (beef tongue too).

[@jonnyc.7245]

You could use that leftover stock for ham and beans.

[@narlyguy1]

I LOVE this man! My grandparents were German, and they made this there, as well. They also called it Souse. I'm going to local latino grocery right now, to buy everything. Gonna make it for my Filipino friends for Christmas Eve. They love everything pork!

Thank you very much! Please let me know how it turned out!!

[@royaltyb1837]

Very Nice Video! I'm not a fan of Hog Head Cheese but I give you props for making it. You said this was the first time you made it but honestly you look like a real pro.

[@priceblack6246]

Man i have come to KZbin to find recipes for all types of dishes but being a southerner i never and i do mean never thought i would see someone make homemade "hog head cheese". I really was in awe just watching the video because i was like no way it's going to be similar to what i'm us to seeing but it was exactly what i'm use to seeing. Keep the videos coming.

[@sneakeey1]

Thank you. I had never done this before. I just had to try it. It turned out fantastic!

[@priceblack6246]

I'm sure it did i was like....damn....that's "souse".......lol.

[@sneakeey1]

No the second cooking isn't. I just did it to allow me to add more flavor!

That was seriously fun. Thank you!

[@davidlinscheid2321]

We used to sell commercially made souse in our small family run grocery store here in small town southern Minnesota, and I loved it. Believe it or not people of Scandanavian and German extract also love souse. I suspect your homemade souse is even better.

[@sneakeey1]

No problem my friend! Us youtubers gotta stick together...lol!

[@beetlesuzuki72]

I wish i was there to try that damn it looks good, my grandpa would always make souse and i loved it. I havent had it in over 10 years thanks for making the video ill be making some this weekend now that i know how.

[@JeriFortune]

Here in Ohio we butcher hogs as a family in the winter. We use every part of the hog we can. We make this and call it head cheese. We do ours all outside in a cast iron kettle over a fire. As a child I loved it but not so much now because of eating it so much as a child.

[@victoriaoladapo7017]

Done the same way where I'm from Louisiana.

[@HJKelley47]

Have not had any hog head cheese in 38 yrs. The last time a friend of mine made some and it was fantastic. Initially I thought I would not like it, but I was pleasantly surprised. My friend also cooked some BBQ mountain oysters. The taste was off the chain. My friend also made his own BBQ sauce, which had a nice kick to it. I was not told what mountain oysters were until I had eaten about 3 of them (LOL) Have you ever tried cooking BBQ mountain oysters?

[@lukemurdock2236]

Great video ...Laid back .....the key to this recipe as well as making scrapple is to let the liquid reduce by about half after removing the meat !!!

[@sheilaedmondson7199]

Thank you this! My Dad used to make this on New Year's... He gone and recipe lost. Bless...

[@slobomotion]

Ah, my mother regretted not getting her maternal grandma's pickle recipe. It took her a long time to find an elderly person to re-teach her. Secret? A slice of rye bread in the bottom of the crock! Go figure. She did get really good at it. Now I make pickles cuz France has great mustard but lousy pickles! (I'm from Ohio and the mother's side is Slovenian, the father's Pennsy Dutch.) My best to you, and it's a shame when we lose the cool ones!

[@sheilaedmondson7199]

I watched my father enough, so I think that I can remember how to do it, but this video really helped. Thx! Keep the videos coming!

[@imari2305]

This and chitterlings aka chitlins are my least favorite pork dishes. My mom (RIP) loved these dishes. Thanks Phil for sharing your recipe it turned out great.

[@sneakeey1]

I am glad that you enjoyed it! Thanks for letting me know. Please let me know how yours turn out.

[@slobomotion]

Uprated. Just got me a pig head in the market here in Saint-Denis, France. Fresh, 8 euros eighty eurocents. Just cleaned it in cold vinegar (white) water for 10 minutes and inspected it. I'm a bit intimidated, but thanks to videos such as yours, I'm trying this! Pork is a staple food here in France.
