OK Head Cheese: First understand that I come from a remote area where alot of people hunt for their meat for the year, most have lived up here for generations. They try to get every bit of meat off the bone. If you have seen the movie "Snow Dogs" that town is kinda like Jefferson.
Well Head Cheese is made from the head of the animal, the head is boiled to get all of the meat off and then reduced over heat. This then turns into a gelatanous stringy tofu like substance. They cut it up and use it in soup or as a side dish. NASTY!!!!
One guy offered me some once, I did not know what it was, thiniking it was cheese until I saw it. He said "This is REALLY good... best I have made in a while... it is made from Bear & Deer".
