Dear Christina,
I don't like to burst your bubble, dahlink, but head cheese is NOT a southern delicacy at all. My father, who grew up in Pittsburgh, was raised on it. I believe it's actually a Pennsylvania Dutch concoction. No REAL southerner would trade their hawg jowls for the likes o' that!! Urk!!!!
And, BTW, Miss...if you think you'll be SNACKIN' on MARROW TOAST whilst ye bunk in Mighty Mohican Mama Marcia's Mansion of Madness and Mayhem, you'd best think again! I'll suss out any grossly disgusting food items and feed 'em to the fishies out back, I swear!!! Mallows, Yes, marrows, NO!! Heads of lettuce, okay. Head CHEESE, right OUT! Chips, fine. Chit'lins, NEVER!And NOTHING on any plate, anywhere that LOOKS at me! Nuh-uh!! Nope. No way!
Ye've been fairly warned!!!!! Any violations of these Food Rules will cause one to be immediately evicted from the premises and forced to go eat jellied eels with Gnomie & Pals! *tsk*
