Well...yeah. It is made from a pig's head, after all. You got your nice tongue pieces and your tasty cheek bits...
![]() No, honestly, my wife's family is German, and the older folks go for that head cheese atrocity in a major way. Why, I have no idea. "We use everything but the squeal", indeed.

Now here I was thinking head cheese was something truly vile, and it turns out, it's just brawn. Brawn's nice, with some crusty bread and a bit of pickle.
Calling it head cheese just makes it sound icky.
