Did some clicking on that and found out that headcheese originated in...Scotland! And here I always thought we had the Germans to thank for that.
Well done though it's some good stuff. Mom would take a steer's head and a pig's head, me or another brother would cut them in half with a chain saw, and after they were cleaned out she'd boil both of them in a huge pot for a good 12 hours or so until the meat fell off the bones. She'd pick out the bones and season up the slurry, then simmer it until most of the liquid was gone, pour what was left into bread pans, and when cool we had loaves of really tasty meat. Better than you can buy anywhere.
Never heard it called "brawn" before though.
