HEAD CHEESE

That actually looks pretty revolting.

this is too intimidating for me

It's amazing. We used to butcher a pig and make some ourselves once a year when I was a kid but now my father is an alcoholic and my mother doesn't talk to him, so that's all gone.
Homemade headcheese is fucking amazing, but seeing it made probably isn't for everybody.

I still get some from a store around Christmas, but it's never the same.

It's a blob of gelatin stuffed with offal, why would anyone eat this outside of saving every meatscrap like a 1700's peasant?

I live in the first world, I don't need to eat tongues to survive.

I'd rather eat chitlins

I thought head cheese was brain in gelatin.

The website meatsandsausages.com lists around 25 different recipes for it from around the world including several from the US and most don't contain "offal" just scraps that would often be ground into sausage anyway.

Like with many other things, the unusual name frightens most modern americans into running away from it screaming in fear.

Brain can arguably be considered offal, depending on who you ask.

You keep suggesting I'm American, and it's hardly the name that makes it not appealing.
