Deli Delights

Seen while waiting at the deli counter:

A woman orders the two most disgusting looking (and sounding) meats available: olive loaf and head cheese.

Olive loaf. Pretty self explainable. A loaf of meat with olives nestled into it.

Head cheese. (Just say that out loud.....oh....ew....so gross.....)

A jellied loaf or sausage made from chopped and boiled parts of the feet, head, and sometimes the tongue and heart of an animal, usually a hog.

That's exactly what it looks like, too. Head cheese. Head cheese???? There are a few really nasty images that conjure up at the sound of that. There's not even any cheese in it. I mean, why not head loaf? Or variety loaf? Yeah, variety loaf. That doesn't sound too bad.

Variety loaf: a sampling of rare pieces of meat combined into a loaf.

Ugh...I still wouldn't want to eat it.
