Re: Calfs head dish...I don't think its actually a good thing that so many meat eaters are so squeemish about eating parts of the animal that confront them with the animal they're eating.

That's right! We gotta eat or use the whole animal. It's a life that's sacrificed and not using the whole thing is not only wasteful and stupid, it's immoral! Pozole, for example, is a hearty Mexican soup made with a pig's head with some even using a very gelatinous veal stock to begin with! Pig's trotters are prepared in a variety of ways in Mexico but pickling them is one of the most common... And they're lovely! The skin is fried and turned into chicharrón.

I forget which Dickens book this was in, but a bunch of people were outraged at the sudden cleverness and work capacity/stamina of workhouse boys. One of the outraged thundered, "What you see here is the result of meat!" Poor nutrition does keep you docile. You live in a brain fog and haven't the awareness or imagination to seek a better life.

[@franceskronenwett3539]

The book you are referring to is Dickens' Oliver Twist. Dickens was a great critic of the Victorian social system, especially the workhouses. When Oliver worked in an undertaker's business, he was continually taunted by the older apprentice boy until he beat him up. Oliver was shut up in a dark room until Mr. Bumble, the parish beadle was sent for. Mr. Bumble then informed Mrs Sowerbury, the undertaker's wife who was responsible for locking up Oliver that his violent behaviour was due to his being fed on meat ( the meat in question were vile scraps intended for the dog). According to Bumble, had they fed Oliver on gruel, as in the workhouse, then this attack on the cowardly apprentice would never have happened.

Cordon Bleu London graduate here. The calf's head broth was surely rich, gelatinous, and provided more than enough protein. As a base stock, it sounds amazing! With some aromatics and vegetables, it can definitely be both delicious and nutritious. The boiled, de-boned and roasted version sounds great! Not so different from the way they prepare pig's trotters at Au Pied de Cochon in Paris, sans the bread coating. Pair it with chips/french fries and bearnaise sauce and it's sheer heaven!

Once I ate it, I had to admit that it was, indeed, quite good!
But blood sausage? Uh-uh. No way.
Head cheese? Absofriggin'lutely not!
Cow's liver, coated in coarse cracker crumbs & fried? Fantastic! On occasion, I actually wish I was a kid again, so I could just walk next door & have it for dinner with Grandma & Grandpa! (It was especially handy when I didn't like what Mom was making 😆)
Whatever parts they couldn't consume (or use to enrich the flavor of certain dishes) were used for fertilizing/composting, and for raising healthy, gut-loaded worms (for fish bait).

I'm with you on that. A lot of good stock to be made with a calf's head. Having gotten into making our own broths and stocks, anything like that that has lots of connective tissue and bone is going to make some super rich and gelatinous broth with tons of flavor, just add seasoning!

You're really reaching on this one, how is vegetable pie or calves head weird 😅 most all these dishes are still eaten around the world today.

Calves head is reaching big time. You’re just indoctrinated. Not everyone is a snaggle toothed Brit 😂😂😂

Where is calves head eaten? I've never heard of that.

[@rockstarJDP]

@@dukey19941 pretty much everywhere, it's only us in Western Europe and North America that tend to be so wasteful and squeamish with food. Its the norm in a lot of countries and cultures to use every single part of the animal and let nothing go to waste.

My auntie, she's about 65 years old now but when she was younger (not sure the age) She told me she wanted to try raw bacon and she ended up getting tapeworm and yeah, she lost a lot of weight. My family living in Northern Manitoba eat beef tongue. Oooh I remember being 8yo and watching them boil it for a long time. I never tried the stuff my granny use to eat. Also, my grandpa ate everything and anything. He'd hunt it and my granny would skin it and cook it. What she hated the most was muskrat. Lol but my grandparents were native and essentially ate off the land.
Edit: I'd pick cabbage pie. It sounds good. Surely they had salt back then.

Excuse me but we DO season our food and as for the Victorians , the majority were truly poor and would eat to stay alive , not to enjoy.

'The British rarely season their food' - ? Yet 'avin' a larf - ! Have you seen them eating out - ? Salt, red sauce, brown sauce, barbeque sauce and chilli sauce are considered essential additions to most Brits today. And that's before they've even tasted the food - !

Meat hanging in open air markets in the stinking city of London must have all tasted horrible. Why do you think the spice trade was so lucrative? In part it was to mask the flavor of bad meat.

[@nicholausbuthmann1421]

I absolutely love "Mexican Style Cabeza" ( and no there's NO BRAINS in it ) Burritos. Which tastes just like Pot Roast in my opinion. So Queen Victoria Era Boiled Calf's Head probably wouldn't bother me at all. In fact I'm certain I'd love it. Albeit spiced up with some Curry or Red Pepper Sauce !

Him telling about the diseased meat reminded me of an episode rerun of Little House On The Prairie when these two guys had sheep that were dying and then found out shortly after they would die what it was that killed them and it was anthrax and in normal circumstances noone would sell meat that had that in it, but they knew they would starve to death if they didn't try to sell it one of them didn't want to do it but the other guy bullied and threaten him so he had no choice. They went around door to door selling mutton meat at a very low price and it being winter people thought it was a steal so people bought the meat. Of course alot died in the episode except the Ingals family and the rest of the people that were regulars on the show can't ever kill off your main characters. I always wondered if that was true did it ever happen and Laura really wrote that story based on her experiencing this of getting sick and almost dying or she wrote it in her stories to make it more interesting kind of a cliffhanger stuff or Michael Landon wrote it making the whole thing up for the show. It's known that Laura wrote these stories and embellished, and making up almost all of it up to sell the stories, some true but mostly is widely exaggerated just like today's stories are when you see on screen based on a true story you know it's probably about 90% not true but just a story just the foundation of it is true. I ways thought that family always pulled through of the hardships that would kill other people who were just guest starring in the show and thought the odds of them always making it through things were astronomic at best, always getting by, getting lucky the only goodie two shoe family. But..I still watched it and still do because it's a good show if you look past that stuff, it's a really good wholesome show that you just don't see anymore and it's nice to see when you want a good family friendly show to watch with your kids, if you can pry them off of the cell phones, computers and the social media stuff they have fused to 24/7.
