in salamoia

Enjoyed throughout the Caribbean, souse is a versatile dish that is typically prepared with pork, namely some of the less-favored cuts such as head, feet, knuckles, or tail, while other versions also employ beef or chicken feet. The cuts are cooked until tender and are then doused in a vinegar and lime-based combination of various spices, herbs, and sliced vegetables. The dish is often compared to aspic or head cheese, though its consistency is not as firm and it is traditionally marinated for a short period. Souse comes in different regional varieties, but it is usually enjoyed as a cold appetizer or as an accompaniment to black or white pudding.
