Two mad gnomes and a big garden.
The Veggie Gnome does the edible stuff, the Berry Gnome the berries and taties.

Nose to tail
What to do with a pig's head and tail? Bung them in a big stockpot, cover with water, throw in a lot of spices (pepper corns, cinnamon, star anise, salt, herbs, etc.) and simmer for 2-3 hours. When tender, take out, let cool a little, then pick off all meat. Add some of the stock to the meat. Adjust seasoning, then fill into jars. Top with a little layer of lard. Absolutely delicious spread on sourdough bread!!!

looks great - where did you get the pig?? I have flicked through your blog and it looks like quite a journey - I am now tuning in!
