[edit] German terms

I have lived in Germany since 1979 and have never heard of either of the two German terms mentioned here. It is usually known as Sülze - Schweinesülze being the typical type made form pig's head.

Don't forget Headcheese in Pokey the Penguin comics!

[edit] Brawn as Head Cheese?

Is there are reason that Brawn (Transformers) is in the disambig header? The article for the Transformer makes no mention of Head Cheese, and its not a term I'm familiar with in association with Brawn. Pyrogen 01:19, 16 June 2006 (UTC)

  • The article claims head cheese is called brawn in the UK, and brawn is a redirect to this article. JIP | Talk 06:58, 2 July 2006 (UTC)
    • Correct. I'm English, and only know the expression "head cheese" from Americans. It's always "brawn" here. 86.132.142.77 04:43, 9 July 2006 (UTC)
there is no disambig header. where the is the link to the transfomer named Brawn...there should be a disamiguation page. i typed in Brawn for a search and it came right to the cheese? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 140.247.188.180 (talk) 2006-07-27 18:05:02
Sounds reasonable. I have added a {{redirect1}} hatnote which should also explain Pyrogen's puzzlement. Henning Makholm 09:45, 28 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Useless Trivia

I removed this tidbit. I think it's beyond trivial.

  • This dish may have been the inspiration for William Heath Robinson's macabre drawing Remarkable case of absence of mind in a Dutch restaurant (1912), in which a diner, distracted by his newspaper, mistakes his sleeping neighbour's bald head for an Edam cheese and cuts a slice from it.
  • Perhaps intriguing but nevertheless non-material, I removed the paragraph claiming head cheese to be the favorite dish of Jeffrey Dahmer.

If someone can justify why it should be returned, please go ahead. Clerks 13:59, 27 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Gelatin

Gelatin is not made from bone marrow, but from connective tissue.

[edit] Texas Chainsaw Massacre

The history channel tells me that the working title of The Texas Chainsaw Massacre was "Headcheese" Wowlookitsjoe (talk) 01:46, 18 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Jews?

This article claims that this product is very popular with jews. I would imagine that it would be a non-pork form of the product that they would patronise... Further, is there a restriction on the consumption of gelatin in Kosher? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 125.63.75.210 (talk) 04:34, 19 May 2008 (UTC)
