Ingredients

 * 1/4 pig's head
 * 3/4kg pork
 * 1 1/2 tblsp salt
 * 1 teasp pepper
 * 1/2 teasp ground cloves
 * 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
 * some gherkins

Directions
Leave the pig's head in salt water until ready to use, then brush under a lukewarm flowing tap.

Put in so much water that it is half under, and cook in about 1 1/2 hrs.

Add the washed meat and leave everything to cook for another hour, so that the head meat is easy to take off the bone and only a little cooking juice is left.

Take the meat of the bone and mince it together with the pork.

Add the minced mass to the cooking juice, mix everything with the salt and spiced and add the chopped gherkins.

Transfer to bowls, cover them with fat free paper and pour some vinegar on. Leave to cold and stiff and slice thinly.
