I’ll do you one better, I had to take head cheese sandwiches to school for lunch. I didn’t think they were bad, we ate it at home, but the kids gave me a hard time. I was too young to understand why.
That which does not kill you makes you stronger.
I think you were a victim of child abuse. Head cheese is some nasty crap.
I ate that also as a kid. Ate blood sausage, pickled cow tongue/heart, pigs feed and a host of other nasty tripe...matter of fact, i had to eat that too. All head cheese is , is the meat off the head..ears and all. But brain cheese? Screw that.
We butchered our own beef and pigs. The old mans friend would cut the dam brains out of that pigs head and head straight for home. Liver, kidneys, you name it. Them old timers would eat anything.
Fish head soup. Now there is another one.
Head cheese is actually very good, except for the name.
Our folks sent us with egg sandwiches. Cheap, and good, until you’ve had them every day breakfast and lunch for weeks. It was a lucky day if there was time to fry bacon to put on them.
