There are children in Africa who have nothing to eat. Poverty is everyone's problem. What are you going to do to solve it?

different pieces of the pig or hog ears, head, feet ect.

Pig Head Meat...In Pate Form... Gelatin is usually used as a setting agent, and any variety of flavors can also be added... It's good... Tastes similar to a hot dog in my experience...

First you start with a hog's head then you add what ever you want

Exactly what it implies. but not cheese
It is a sausage from the cooked meat picked from a skull..
seasonings and herbs added.
Who said it had to be pork???
I am sure you can even get exotic. buffalo headcheese.
Sausage is just that.
PS sherry please don't let her pass without writing it down inspite of your feelings..

My grandmother makes this stuff all the time.

Bioled pork hocks with garlic, and other spices (she won't tell anyone what she uses) that is cooled to form a jelly like substance. She uses it in sandwhiches or eats it alone.

Personally I find it so gross!

Headcheese or Souse:

It is meat for an hog or pig head cooked down tender pulled spiced set in a gelatin. served chill goes great with beer and crackers

Souse on the other hand is from any part of the pork...

Animal Remains.

We use mostly the snout for the meat, and of course the hooves make the gelatin it sets in. Here, in New Orleans, we like ours spicy, and cayenne pepper is a must.
I know it sounds as bad as blood sausage, but give it a try. It really is great stuff. If you have a heart condition, or high cholesterol, you may want to leave it alone. I've made it, and it can't be good for you.

It's a chunky bologna made from pig parts.

The old fashion headcheese is just a block of cooked pate made from the skin, meat and parts of a pigs head.
In the old days, meat is a luxury and nothing goes to waste when livestock is butchered.

i thought it was cows brains. ewwwww wtf?
