If left potted for a while does it more or less pickle?

Clean them extremely well, and boil them; take for sauce part of the liquor, 
and add vinegar, lime or lemon juice, salt, cayenne, black and Jamaica 
pepper; put in, either cut down or whole, the head and feet; boil all 
together for an hour, and pour it into a deep dish. It is eaten cold with 
mustard and vinegar.

Must be similar to what P O'B meant, this is for the whole head and feet, 
but the only really meaty bits of the head are the cheeks and a bit of the 
snout anyway.

Cheers
Douglas
