About Brawn
Brawn, often known as head cheese, is a traditional dish with origins in European cuisine. Despite its name, it doesn't contain cheese but is a savory terrine made from parts of a pig's head, such as the cheeks and jowls, often combined with spices, vegetables, and gelatin. Variations may include other meats like veal or poultry. Brawn is typically served cold, sliced as part of a charcuterie platter or as a sandwich filling. Its nutritional profile includes protein and collagen, which can support skin and joint health. However, it is also high in sodium and saturated fats, so it’s best enjoyed in moderation. Brawn reflects the resourceful cooking methods of its origins, emphasizing nose-to-tail practices and minimizing waste, making it a historical staple that remains popular in many traditional cuisines.
