head cheese
Head cheese is a cold cut terrine or meat confection made by cooking, usually beef or pork, heads, often including the brain and tongue, and setting it in a gelatinous broth made from the resulting jelly. The cooked, chopped, or over-the-head meat is then packed into a mold and chilled.
Head cheese, also known as brawn, is a meat jelly or terrine prepared using flesh from the head of a calf or pig, typically set in aspic. This dish is usually consumed cold or at room temperature, and is often served in sandwiches. Despite its name, head cheese is not a dairy product and contains no cheese.
