Brawn Takes Place of Boar's Head on Noel Brawn has largely been substituted substitut-ed for the boar's head for the Christ-mas Christ-mas and New Year's celebrations. For this dish the pig's head Is soaked in salt water all night, scraped, cleaned and the brain and eyes removed. It is boiled until tender enough to remove the bones. The meat Is picked from the bones, chopped fine, seasoned with red and black pepper, cloves, mace, nutmeg and salt. It is then pressed into a brick or loaf form and served cold. The custom is believed to have originated with the ancient Romans.
