Head cheese, also known as brawn or souse, is a type of meat jelly made from the head, feet, and sometimes the tongue and heart of a pig or calf. Despite its name, head cheese is not a type of cheese and doesn't contain any dairy products. The term "souse" is often used in the Southern United States to refer to head cheese, and in some parts of Europe, it's called "tete de veau" or "kopfkaese". Other regional names for head cheese include "presswurst" in Germany and "zult" in the Netherlands. Regardless of the name, head cheese can be enjoyed sliced and served on crackers, or as a sandwich filling.
