   1       kg           Fatty meat from pork head,

                        -generous 2 lbs)
   1                    Onion
                        Salt and pepper to taste
   1       pk           Allspice*

  bungs.** Simmer, at 175 to 185 degrees F, for 2 hours.  Turn frequently
  during the cooling process.
  
  Serves 4.
  
  [*Note: 1 pkg is a considerably smaller quantity than the smallest spice
  container I have ever seen stateside. And that, alas, is as specific as I
  can get on the subject.  K.B.]
  
  [**Note:  I strongly recommend that anyone contemplating this recipe
  consult a book on how to prepare intestines for use as sausage casings.
