I am going to tackle this recipe for my weekend project.

Meathead et al, would/could you sous vide, THEN smoke?

We have a Viet restaurant here that makes killer Banh Mi called Pho King Noodles (Not kidding. They aren't trying to be cheeky, either, they barely speak English). They put head cheese on their Banh Mi and it send it to the next level. Good luck this weekend.

hoovarmin one of my favorite GSM wines is from chronic cellars called Sofa King Bueno.

SheilaAnn 😂. Pate is wonderful on Banh Mi.

If you find an authentic Vietnamese Ban Mi place you will see a wide variety of processed pates made from pork or chicken. Don't overlook a splash of fish sauce!

You are in for a treat! This recipe is so stinking good! Can’t wait to see and hear about it!

This is one of my favorite cookbook authors and I love this book. Setting up a Banh Mi serve-yourself buffet makes for a really fun party.

Hey hoov, Andrea has a cookin class comin up. Have you looked into it?

[hoovarmin]

FireMan I have not. Please share the deets!

SheilaAnn I have not tried Sous Vide but I suspect it wopuld work great. I would want to grill it enough to get the surface a bit crunchy.

And the results: my ends got a little too much burnt. I used pecan because it was what I had. I skipped the suggestion of head cheese because what my deli had, I did not care for. Occupational hazard when you used to make your own. I cut the carrots in discs because they were too small to make match sticks per the OG recipe.

You used to make your own head cheese? Hogs head cheese? Really? Wow.

PBCDad for sure! But I will mind the pork belly a lot better. 🤣🤦🏼♀️😜 and I think I will add a bit of heat to the mayo. It was good with the toasted sesame oil, though.

klflowers yessir, in a way. We called it coppa de testa. The company went out of business, but here is what it looked like.

That doesn't look like the stuff I remember. It was also called souse. My mom tried to make some once. I came home under the influence and she had a hogs head in the fridge. Scared me sober
