Head cheese, also called souse and brawn, is a jellied loaf or sausage. Originally it was made entirely from the meaty parts of the head of a pig or calf, but now can include edible parts of the feet, tongue, and heart. The head is cleaned and simmered until the meat falls from the bones, and the liquid is a concentrated gelatinous broth. Strained, the meat is removed from the head, chopped, seasoned and returned to the broth and the whole placed in a mold and chilled until set, so it can be sliced.

Dear God, it would only be thought of in a place with winters that long and bad. I guess if you go for months and couldn't get to a store some years back you can come up with these recipes.
That is like someone at church the other day said they liked squirrel brains in their scrambled eggs and would like for me to shoot them a few squirrels if I was out rabbit hunting and got the chance. I ask why do that to a good bunch of eggs don't they like their eggs.
