But Peter, you should have said Salade de museau! You can get this stuff in Tesco!
It's brawn (head cheese) in aspic.
No, that's 'fromage de tête', not the salade de museau I'm thinking of. No aspic involved. It's thinly sliced and really a salad, not set. One of my brothers in laws' mum ran a pickle factory outside Bern, and we used to get wholesale plastic bags of their sauerkraut and their salade de museau de boeuf. They've sold the factory now and those halcyon days are over.
I know brawn and like it, although not as much, but this is quite different- and tastes different too.
