In looking over some notes from the past, I found a note on some curious definitions of 'brawn': meat of boar; headcheese.
I can't begin to imagine what I would have been reading at the time that brought about finding these two (to me) unusual applications of the word 'brawn.' Onelook.com indicates they are British defintions. Do any of you here use either application of boar or cheese?

I think a brawn may be the machine you put the meats through to get a fleshy 'brawn' out the other side. I guess meat can be 'brawn' too.

For a lot of women, "brawn" is just beefcake, Wordwind. You're a lot deeper than that. :)

Headcheese isn't cheese (ewww....). Now I wonder, if brawn is brain, why do we separate them as virtual opposites in the expression?

Countess: Marry, that's a bountiful answer that fits all
questions.
Clown: It is like a barber's chair that fits all buttocks,
the pin-buttock, the quatch-buttock, the brawn
buttock, or any buttock.

From Father S's link on preparation of a pig's head:
Seasonable from September to March.

Sage is good, too. But seriously, if one can overcome the less rational squeemishness (eating some parts of an animal but not others?!) this is a fantastic creation. Much cheaper and more nutritious than peanut butter... ;)
