I used to work at a meat packing/processing plant. We had products called
both souse and head cheese. One looked slightly different than the other,
but both stunk horribly when being cooked. I could always tell when they
were cooking those up. I don't think I would have eaten them to begin with,
but they are the only two things we made for human consumption that I would
not ever consider eating after working there.
