I usually just crave Doritos or Pringle's.
And how in the heck can you call it cheese if it doesn't even have any cheese in it?

Tradition, dear Dinah.
Referred to as fromage de tête,tête fromagée (which translates as "cheesy head") or pâté de tête'.

The highly seasoned Hog's Head Cheese is very popular as a cold cut or appetizer. It is also something of a staple of soul food, and may also be known as souse meat or simply souseTee hee hee.

Lol. I'm going to have to google for sure.
It's hard to wrap my head around "cheese with no cheese."
What exactly is melting into the cornbread?

Nothing like putting a slice on a wedge of hot cornbread and watching it melt slowly.
Yum yum.
You're messing with us, right?

*sigh*
The head cheese is gelatinous, so will dissolve if heated.
Look up the ingredients in Jell-O.
Uh-huh.

Leave off the frying part, and that's just about it.

Head cheese is in fact not a cheese, but meat pieces from the head of a calf or pig (sometimes a sheep or cow), in aspic, with onion, black pepper, allspice, bayleaf, salt and or vinegar. It may also include meat from the feet, tongue and heart. It is usually eaten cold or at room temperature as a luncheon meat. It is sometimes also known as souse meat, particularly if pickled with vinegar.
Historically meat jellies were made of the cleaned (all organs removed) head of the animal, which was simmered to produce stock, a peasant food made since the Middle ages. When cooled, the stock congeals because of the natural gelatin found in the skull. The aspic may need additional gelatin in order to set properly.
I just barfed up my P B & J. No offense to those who like eating heads of calf jello.
