Complicated, but we are singing 'The Boar's Head Carol' on Sunday ( a rousing, quaffing ditty) and wanted to lift a boar's head on a platter at the end. No prob. in France. The squeamish amongst us have vetoed a roasted pig's head with added tusks. I have tried to make a papier-mache head with dubious results.

Any ideas or suggestions as to a supplier before I come down to finding a pig-mask and a balloon ------please!

Do you know any retired colonels who mght have one on their walls?

It's not a Cameron story, honestly - youtube it. It is sung in (I think) an Oxford college for the Christmas Gaudy - good fun and the basses love it.

Thanks, jno, but £6.00 is ok - £63 is a no-no!

No, I don't know any retired colonels :(
Friendly butcher req. jourdain?
Question Author
They ain't cheap are they? Some of the singers are prepared to share the cost of buying and roasting one with us as long as we get the meat off it to share; but, as I said; the others are going green - beats me why, they eat other bits of pig don't they. No, it has to be artificial in some way, sorry.
My mother made one each Christmas

Nice try, tonyav, but as I said, it has to be artificial. I honestly can't understand people who eat meat but run from the reality . I'm used to wandering around supermarkets and seeing heads glaring up at me from the cool counters - with their trotters a few bays along. I think I'm heading for a pig-mask and balloon.... :(

Sorry, remember pig's head, gravy browning and marbles!
