SCHNITZEL ON A STICK! HA HA HA HA... What crazy food would you put on a stick and ride a truck around the neighborhood selling? Dream big!
I don't know what you people have a problem with. That picture right there is of a perfectly fresh piece of headcheese. Nothing gross at all whatsoever!
Headcheese is a kind of processed meat where small bits of meat are cooked until the collagen breaks down into gelatin. This is then cooled until set then you can make nice sammies. The taste is much like well cooked version of the meat in its own broth but the texture is different. Depending on the kind of meat and any added gelatin you can get something very firm, almost rubbery, or something pretty soft.
If you've ever made a slow cooked roast then chilled the broth with some of the meat in it you have essentially made a soft head cheese. If you cook down the bones for a good while (the best way because you get all the flavor) or add gelatin (fast but much less flavor) you'll get a firm head cheese. Cook down the bones and add gelatin and you'll get a very firm loaf.

Prayer for the Conversion of Unbelievers
O God, of all peoples on the earth, be mindful of the many unbelievers. They have been created in Your image, yet they do not know You or Your Son Jesus Christ, their Savior Who died for them. By the prayers of Your Church, may they be freed from all ignorance and unbelief and led to worship You. We ask this through Jesus Christ, Your Son, our Lord, Whom You sent to be the resurrection and the life of all human beings. Amen.

Are you the kid who stuck the schnitzel stick in his nose? Ewww - then head cheese? Guess I'll go back to my Chex Mix...
Why even bother? Who could compete with your headcheese on a stick?
Ugh.

Michelle - You should ask Steph about the headcheese thing... Make sure you do it on an empty stomach.

Helen, that picture should have come with a warning attached. And a barf bag.
Oh Helen, Charlie will be so pleased to see a pic of real actual headcheese.
And I hope you'll forgive me, but I don't think I'll mention the 'on a stick' idea to him. That's too horrifying to contemplate.
