Yep, but it still tastes and smells like crap :-)

if it hasn't already been suggested, head cheese

I mentioned that one a while back, but yeah, yuck!
And I have a policy of tasting pretty much anything once...I tried it again
after a few years to see if my tastes had changed. I guess they have, but
not enough to like that. I think it's the texture I can't stand.

ohh..and there was some gelatinous meat containing product that my Hungarian
relatives (including dad) all love..the would let it jell up from the
natural gelatin that came out of the meat bones.. seem to think it may have
been pork but..I'm blocking it...they'd it cold..Dad always seemed to go to
the west side market when my aunt was making the gelatin things (for all her
siblings) and buy some head cheese to eat in a sandwich along with it..

Laura, I used to adore "head cheese" (made with Pork only)
But once I became aware of all the chemistries added, I wish I could have
thrown up many meals eaten years ago..LOL! COLD cuts used to be safe
about 40 to 50 yrs ago ( or more??) But since the FDA threw up all over the
food industries, one MUST be extra careful since! Does the word "POISONS"
ring a bell?? Today's HOT DOGS are pure puke in a wrapper...no lie!!
Once I found out I'm Jewish ( I should have known from my teen pictures)
I NOW KNOW what "BALANCE" means as well as modern Kosher! I've been
a lot healthier since. It's amazing what a bit of EDUCATION can do!! LOL!
Best of luck in your quest for EDIBLE modern foods. B-0b1

What chemicals? You are getting your head cheese from a hot-dog
manufacturer?

Head cheese is made by simmering a pig's head with herbs, salt , and
pepper until the flesh comes off the skull. If it has chemicals in it
you didn't do it right.

Also if the aspic that results doesn't taste good you found some other
way to do it wrong.

Harumpph!!, grump, etc!!!

Was that the West Side Market in Cleveland? When I lived there, it was a
weekly ritual to shop there *before* going to the supermarket.

ROFL.

That answers my question (that I was almost afraid to ask)
'what do you mean by "head cheese"?'

I had an awful feeling that someone was saying something in really bad
taste... in the UK "headcheese" means something else (if I have never
heard it used in reference to real edible material)
