Hi, newbie here.

Not new to cooking though. And I managed to get a pig's head which I
have turned into brawn, without thinking of the consequences.

I live alone, and have three loaves of brawn setting in my fridge, and
no idea how to store what I don't eat tomorrow. Is there an expert out
there who can give me some advice?

As for Catherine, have you a freezer? If not, you could share with your
neighbours.

What's the real difference between brawn and scrapple? They seem very
similar to me.

The pig in Turin has to be an ex DH?

Freezer... that's the thing, can you freeze jellied things? Or is it
only when it contains gelatine that you shouldn't?

PS What's scrapple?

It should keep well in the refrigerator for at least a couple of weeks.
It can also be frozen.

I don't remember for sure, but I think that when I make stock/broth that
jells and then freeze it, it remains in jelled form when thawed. That's
essentially what we are talking about.

Most people here in Texas make Tamales out of pigs head. ;-)

If you're still talking about him, and especially in the company of
strangers who don't know him at all and you only superficially, then
in your heart and soul you did not leave him (you're aching to have
him back), and if you are constantly disparaging him that's indicative
that he left/dumped you but you'd take him back in a heartbeat. When
people are in a shack-up relationsip (as averse to a marriage) for so
many years then they are both equally responsible for the machinations
leading to the break up. In a long term marriages it's more likely
that one rather than the other is more responsible for the divorce,
but still both are culpable, and it's really just marginal and
debatable as to who is more culpable. When you are bashing your old
boyfriend at every opportunity and you are obviously exaggerating
because you think it's comical with all your hilarious, childish
outbursts (DDDDD), and he's not even here to tell his side, then you
portray yourself the fool/buffoon. The demise of a long term
relationship is nothing to laugh about. Only an extremely immature
woman makes a spectacle, a public mockery of a relationship in which
she chose to invest a goodly portion of her life... perhaps you should
hook up with TheFatBoy, he also made a spectacle, a public mockery of
his wife's demise... and like you the jackass has not exhibited any
mature decorum either.

Figures... there's more pig headedness per capita in Texas than
anywhere else. LOL

I am sure you are right Janet, but would you rather throw it out? At least
she can try

I'm suggesting that freezing it should be worth a try as I don't think
freezing will damage the jelled structure. I think you are suggesting the
same?

Thanks, everyone, for the advice. I'm wondering now if I WANT to keep
it, as I spent a day in bed with a stomach bug after two sandwiches with
brawn on them! Not that I'm saying that was the problem, as I also ate
peaches and figs straight off the tree, grapes, and fruit cake. Now
that I'm feeling a bit better and can open the fridge without feeling
nauseous I will do something with the brawn. Maybe I can try some of
the fig preserve I made the same day.

Today I'll have to concentrate on doing something with the peaches and
grapes and figs that need processing!
