Polish head cheese [46]
Oh yeah, I wont eat head cheese either, my grandpa loved it and i'd run when he tried to make me try it. I agree with the jellied thing, it seems to be pretty popular though in Germany, Poland, Russia, etc. I once saw a pork chop that was covered in jelly and had half a hard boiled egg in it. The only type of meat jelly I will consume is stock for soup and obviously that has to be heated up and is no longer jellied. Another thing old timers like that I wont touch is liverwurst...my grandpa would take me out for a burger and he would get his liverwurst and onion sandwich and the smell would throw my stomach for a loop, I usually had to take my burger home.
Yeah the cheek meat is good, and I've been known to eat some brains just to gross all the kids out at pig roasts(party where you roast a pig and drink alcohol basically). I once went to a graduation party some Greek-Americans threw and they roasted a whole lamb or maybe a goat, I liked the way they eat the brain, with lemon and ouzo/raki.
At pig roasts, I will volunteer to help prepare the pig after it is done roasting, that is who usually gets that cheek meat and other goodies.
