Here’s a recipe for those who may have access to the ingredients ~~~~
1 moose nose
onion
garlic
pickling spice
Cut upper jawbone just below the eyes.
Place in scalding water and parboil for 45 minutes.
Wash throughly and pick off hair, unless you like hair soup.
Place nose in fresh water with onion, garlic and pickling spice.
Boil gently until tender. Let cool overnight in same juice.
Remove bone and cartilage.
The nose is white meat and the jaw is dark.
Slice the meat thin, pack in jars and cover with juice.
This will jell and can be sliced.
Serve cold.
(Try not to think of how the moose looked when he had a cold!)

I have some cookbooks geared specifically to wild meats but none have anything like this jellied moose nose. Missouri doesn't have moose except for one that made a wrong turn somewhere up in Canada and spent a few weeks here in the mid 80's. Wonder if it could be done with venison.
People used to eat hogshead cheese all the time.

People used to eat hogshead cheese all the time. This recipe was a recipe book put together by Minnesota Conservation Officers. There are several recipes in the book that I suspect were added for the humor factor rather than for serious food preparation. Our local meat market still offers several old world meat concoctions! They no longer offer head cheese but do make make a jellied loaf with pork and Turkey ~~~~ VERY GOOD STUFF! |

Yes.... Where I grew up head cheese and like products were good eats.. Moose and cow tongue are also good, and a good use of the resource...
A number of recipes for these kinds of products seems to be getting lost...

Our Inuit friends eat caribou heads and even post photos of them on FB. They say the eyes are the best part.   |

Many people are like this.. Many more it seems the more generations that get meat on a styrofoam tray. Then, for instance, they never know. or likely would not want to know what goes into there chicken, turkey, grilling sausages... Or the chemicals and the like it takes to process there fake meat burgers and such... Don't get me started...
Our friend here from Switzerland that has the butcher shop saying as a kid he learned to make all these things that nobody will buy as they don't know what it is.. There loss.
