While Pamela Kerr of Moonta Bay (SA) thinks “both Seppo Ranki and Graham Harris have less brain than brawn” (C8), head cheese has its fans among the readership, one of them being David Bentham of Jordan Springs: “During World War II, our family in Lancashire gave up ration books to be allowed to home-kill a pig once or twice a year. Nothing wasted. The head boiled for ages. Onions, herbs, stale bread and secret things. All pressed to become a wonderful brawn. This was bartered and much-coveted in the village. The vicar preached about sharing and making do. He described Mrs Bentham’s pig’s head as ambrosia. He was right.”
