Have you ever had head cheese?

[fred 3 camp fred 2012]

I watched The Texas Chainsaw Massacre and was reminded of the existence of head cheese. Head cheese is essentially a gelatinous loaf of meat cut from the head of a pig.

Have you ever tried it? I never had, looks ghastly, but I would try it on a cracker just to find out, maybe it's fantastic?

Have you ever had it?

Yes, it's good. Not great though.

Sounds horrible, and how do you get meat out of a head? Is it brains? I don't think even normal carnivore animals eat that, besides the kind of animals that would eat things whole.

Pigs have an incredible amount of fat in their head. It's tasty but needs to be simmered until it denatures into a gelatin. It's a little porky though, like most pig products.

No, and I never will.

[Affronter]

See it in the grocery store quite often. Never had it. Never will.

I tried it once when I was a kid, my mom thought it'd be a good idea to introduce me to different types of food. It was like eating a slice of really meaty cold cuts, but with pimentos and stuff.

Probably how I ended up enjoying stuff like pozole and calabeza tacos over in Mexico, both use animal brains (and/or other head organs) as ingredients. Sounds terrible, tastes delicious.

[EDIT: Apologies, I just finished playing an H-game and the first thing that came to mind when reading the title was NOT about food.]

[MacTap]

humans do eat animal brains. like all brains, it is gelatinous and needs to be prepared and cooked a certain way. Animal brains contain a large amount of stuff that's good for you as well. it's not much different than eating kidneys or a liver in an animal. the only reason some people find the whole thing disgusting is because it's cooked brain matter instead of a liver.

but you must also not forget that skin is an organ as well and bacon is essentially the whole layer of skin and connective tissue fried and eaten, typically found on the belly or back of the pig once fattened up.

People eating any part of pig, huh? Truly pork is the meat of meats.
Personally I prefer chicken. Pork is good too.

On topic, I am curious about it.

[Pocahawtness]

What a horrible name.

I prefer the British name for it - Brawn. Doesn't sound quite so bad.
