Delicious stuff and if people object to being served head cheese you
can always call it brawn, potted meat, tete pressee or pate de tete.

I haven't encountered hot head cheese but I guess it's a thing. I
also think of head cheese as being chunks of meat, and not ground
meat, set in gelatin. But then those crazy Cajuns like to mix things
up ...
