Are you a fan? The best I've ever had is Richard's Cajun sliced Hog Head Cheese. It comes in a 10 oz. pack of four 3/8" thick slices that fit perfectly on sliced bread.
My go-to for packing to the deer stand is a sandwich with a slice of it on whole wheat bread with mayo and black pepper. The problem is I end up eating it a half hour after getting in the stand rather than waiting a few hours.

Yes I’m a big fan, and I also make it. Makes great sandwiches for fishing trips and great on crackers.

I can remember getting it in a 10 lb. box at our meat mkt years ago. It looked like it was put in a mold of some kind like you would do Jello. We had to slice it and package it. Never thought about trying any. Nope.

Worked in the meat industry all my life. No head cheese for me.

I hear you. I haven`t bought any hamburger meat that I didn`t grind myself since the 80`s. I changed careers in 2006 and bought a meat grinder asap.95% Briskets and chuck roast that I trim extremely close is all I use.

I'd guess you give tongue tacos a pass also. So sad.

Never had it commercially made but ate a lot of it made at home. We would raise 2 hogs each year and process them. My Mother would make it and I loved that version.
lf the saying "Liar, Liar your pants on fire" were true Mainstream news might be fun to watch

There are so many different versions of head cheese around the world that date back hundreds of years. IMO Cajun Country's got it figured out. Minced fine and seasoned just right. Sure beats the hell out of that potted meat that I grew up eating. In other cultures they leave the pieces of ear/snout/tongue/jowl/skin big and slice it like that, they don't grind they chop course and gel. If you like boudin, you should like head cheese. If not, then you probably have a mental block that some folks should consider getting over. Man wish I could have seen and tasted what your Momma made.
