But Peter, you should have said Salade de museau! You can get this stuff in Tesco!
It's brawn (head cheese) in aspic. It come in pork or beef varieties. It's delicious with
a vinaigrette dressing, garnished with a little finely chopped garlic. Which is exactly
the way I like my pork's trotters. (Perhaps a better name for the latter would be pork
trotter terrine in aspic
, because after 5 hours or so of processing the end product bears
no resemblance whatsoever to its raw ingredients.) Confusingly the Estonians call
their pork trotters in aspic brawn which just goes to show how closely the two dishes
are related.

But the 'plumbing' of cooking is only part of the culinary experience, its the ambiance
- not just what you eat, but where you eat and who you eat it with - that is an essential
part of the experience. Ambiance is everything and can even turn humble corned beef
and ginger beer into exotic pemmican and grog.
