I often make an Antipasti plate with mixed cold meats, olives, etc. always a hit at parties..
I would like to bring a "specialty meat" plate to my Dad next visit...
He says he misses "head cheese" from his childhood, also we were sort of "spooking" the Grand kids with talk of Liverwurst, etc. last Christmas....
so I'm thinking of buying a thick slice each of "head cheese", liverwurst, good salami, and "blood/ tongue wurst" from a local very busy grocery, much like Whole Foods... then cubing it up to make a plate
any ideas on other meats? what else to add? mustard, cheeses?...
but also a question on these types of meats...
How long will these types of meats "be fresh"?
I mean the "head cheese" behind the deli counter is Huge!
I trust this grocer, but I wonder how long it's been there.. and will it travel well for 4 hrs. on ice in a cooler?
Thanks, Eric Austin Tx.
ps. I know my Dad and I are weird!
