Once every couple of years I like to make some jaternice (pronounced eater-nit-see).
WTH is that, you ask?
Every culture has a few sausage types intended for using up the leftovers from hog butchering. Eastern Europeans and specifically the Czech’s version of this sausage is jaternice.
For a lot of people, these sausages, and their ingredients, were considered “cheap cuts” and food that people of modest means ate. True, but they were also nutritious, tasty, and wholesome.In various parts of the Midwest, Czech immigrants settled, and brought their sausage making traditions with them. Traditionally made of pork offal, pork head meat, a cereal, and seasoning, jaternice is considered an uncured cooked liver sausage that is ready-to-eat. It can be served cold, or heated and browned in a skillet (my favorite). It makes a nice breakfast meat served with eggs and toast.
Served cold it has a firm texture from all the natural gelatin in the head meat. When it is heated, it has a loose pudding-like texture.
Our family grew up eating and liking foods like this which we made in the family sausage business.
Here are pictures of how I dit it.
Ingredients: Pork snouts, pork liver, pork butt, bread and seasoning.
The liver is poached for 10 minutes and the other meats are simmered for 2 hours.
Unrelated Bonus Question: What do diving pigs look like when they come up for air?
The cooked meats are allowed to cool, cubed up and ground.
The bread is cubed up and mixed with the ground meats, seasonings, and kettle broth.
After mixing, I stuffed in large hog casings and tied them into rings. Cooking was done in a large meat lug using 180 degree water until an I.T. of 152 degrees was reached.
This was followed by a cold water bath and refrigerating overnight.
processhead I feel as if those pig snouts and I locked eyes!!!

On the down side, I sent a similar picture to a buddy who also processes and likes jaternice, as did his wife until he showed her the picture.
“Never again”, I believe were his wife’s exact words after viewing the picture.Paul

Unfortunately, a lot of our attitudes towards all foods are based on preconceived notions and not actual experience.

I would LOVE to make that recipe but unfortunately I would be the only one eating it. At the very mention of snout my whole family would run from the house. Thank for sharing and if I ever travel the Midwest I will be sure to see if they serve it in some mom and pop restaurant (that’s the only way I will be able to eat it)
I have never seen it served in any restaurants, and finding it commercially takes some effort as well. A few small processers still make it but unfortunately it is one of those products with dwindling consumer demand.

calldoctoday processhead cdavis Which kolaches are we talking about, Polish or Czech? I grew up with the Polish variety and never knew there was another until I ended up in TX and seen the Czech version. More like a meal in your hand then a pastry. Both are good, but a world of difference.
