But has it got Vegemite in it?
Head Cheese was a food item my friends and I used to joke about. There was a prepackaged version of it available from Oscar-Mayer, and we used to dare one another to touch it (not directly, just through the package). We might have been less horrified if it had been called Brawn. I don't see this product in the sandwich meat case anymore.
Of course, the big cultural touchpoint for head cheese was the hitchhiker in Texas Chainsaw Massacre, who delivers a monologue on the quality of his family's homemade head cheese, just before he starts cutting his hand.
If it weren't for the gelatinous quality of it, I might brave it. Maybe next time I'm in Sydney.
