What's head cheese and scrapple?

The French have a "paté de tête", which is a paté of minced pig's head, but I've never heard of head cheese (heard of foot cheese! :-)

>I was asked by a little girl the other day what foods I hated. I took a really long time to come up with head cheese, scrapple and anise/licorice. The first two because of the gross-out factor and the second two because of taste. That really is a small list I think compared to most people. Might explain about a hundred things! <g>

>>Thanks. I had a look (I thought Tracy was being all "temple of the body" on us then, talking of eating only God's sweet potatoes from the Earth :-)

>>Anyway: BARF!! That sounds horrible. Coconut shreds I'm not fond of, nor bitter dark chocolate (I only like milk or white). And marshmarrow in the middle???

>>>I had to look that one up ( http://www.candyfavorites.com/Idaho-Spud-pr-2136.html?gclid=CNG6l9GZkY0CFRDaYgod4lnhpQ ) as I had never heard of it. And if you met me, you wouldn't think that there was any candy bar I hadn't met. <g> Where did you come across that one?

>>>>>>The product names differ. I think the candy bar sold as a Mars bar in the UK is about the same as a 3 Musketeers bar in the U.S.

>>>>>Ah, so the 3 are work, rest and play? Or the 3 constituents to the bar? I thought it may be that cos they did the same in the UK reduced the size.
