12. Food TV had a show
way back when where 2 chefs cooked in 20 minutes with your everyday average ingredients. and they had a panel of ordinary people judge the food, lol sounds familiar. i'm not sure if htey were trying to copy iron chef from japan or what...

but anyway, they had spam as the secret ingredient on that show back then. they did a good job with it actually.

25. LOL...I was just thinking of souse...
and for you northern folks...

1 pigs head and trotters or 3 lbs. meaty pork
Juice of 4 large limes
Salt to taste
1 medium onion, finely chopped
1 large cucumber, peeled and chopped fine
2 Scotch bonnet peppers, deseeded and chopped
Parsley to garnish

METHOD
Wash and clean pork very well. Place in a large saucepan of boiling water and simmer until tender.
Remove the meat from the saucepan and plunge into cold water. When cool, remove and cut into bit sized pieces.
Skin and cut the pig tongue into lengthway slices and cut trotters in half.
Put the pork into a bowl and make a brine with the lime juice, water and salt to taste. (About 2 cups of brine)
Mix this with the onion, cucumber and pepper, then pour over the meat.
Cover and chill in the refrigerator for several hours before serving.
Garnish with parsley.

26. And the recipe for Head Cheese is:
Head Cheese
Head cheese, also called souse and brawn, is a jellied loaf or sausage. Originally it was made entirely from the meaty parts of the head of a pig or calf, but now can include edible parts of the feet, tongue, and heart. The head is cleaned and simmered until the meat falls from the bones, and the liquid is a concentrated gelatinous broth. Strained, the meat is removed from the head, chopped, seasoned and returned to the broth and the whole placed in a mold and chilled until set, so it can be sliced.
