Yeah, that's head cheese, a variant of which you can find pretty much in every country in the world.
I stand by what I said. It's disgusting, and I have serious doubts about its nutritional value.
This is called Brawn in the UK.
It's called souse here in Alabama.
I used to eat it with my Gramps. I may have to pick some up from the store now.
There was an interesting TV series run over here called The Victorian Farm, where they got a few people to live as if they were Victorian smallholders. They had to manage their livestock, live on what they could grow, etc.
One of the things they mentioned is that because of the amount of physical labour involved, and the fact that you're not living somewhere that's centrally heated, they craved animal fat to a degree that people living modern lifestyles never will. A lot of foods of this type, which they freely admitted would never have appealed to them normally, seemed like the most irresistible things in the world.
When I used to work construction, I'd eat all kinds of greasy, fatty food during the winter. I couldn't get enough of the stuff and I'd hardly put on any extra weight. Just a nice pound or three that came right off as spring time rolled around. Since I can't do that stuff anymore I don't eat anywhere near as much fat as I did. I eat a lot more grains, veggies and fruit now, with just a little bit of meat here and there. My appetite for what and how much I eat has always done a good job of regulating itself.

The wiki page says that there is a type of it here in Newfoundland, but I've never seen or heard of it. Oh woe is me, what have I missed out on all my life!

IT'S PIGS' FEET SWIMMING IN GELATIN!
AKA Good eatin'!

Edit: TOTP again? I must have a wonderful yet-untapped power. There is no other explanation.
The King of the Road Sandwich.
2 Pieces of white bred, buttered and fried on a gill,
Mayo (about 1 liquid ounce) spread on the fried bread
10 or so butter fried white onion rings,
4 slices of medium sized tomato slices warmed on grill (about 4 inches diameter)
1/2 - 1 pound of roast beef heated in 80 degree Au'Jus or beef gravy,
Cut into 4, serve with a side of French fries or a garden salad.
Least healthy thing I ever made, and people would order it with a diet coke....
It's not my favorite, but chicken feet are pretty damn good. They sound more disgusting than they actually are.
I can't stand them. It's not that they taste bad, it's the that they're too much goddamn work. And I'm someone who thinks the neck it one of the best parts of the turkey.
Some of the stuff on here I have had is damn good. Not sure where the coleslaw hate comes from though. Was a restaurant down in Little Rock I use to go to with my folks when visiting family. Get a huge smoked beef or pork sandwich(sliced or chopped) smother in bbq with coleslaw on top. Fabulous stuff. Great sign on what they would smoke, too. Skunk, chipmunk, squirrel, raccoon and a little line at the bottom saying if its not on the list just ask about a price.
Living in Japan has opened up my eating habits a lot. Raw fish never bugged me, whole small fish heads eyes and all still bugs me. Also someone mentioned the prawns and shrimp with the heads still on, in general I am fine and just pull the head off but some of my co-workers insist its the best part, I stare at them blankly, its crunchy and squishy at the same time ewwww.
Also one of my friends now ex-gf who is from the Ukraine made this meat jello stuff, not sure the name, looked nasty but it tasted pretty good.
Also the whole want more fat when its cold is true, my apartment has no central heat or ac unit to heat it so I get pretty cold in the winter. I eat a lot more gravy style dishes then because I just want the tasty fat.

The eyes and head are the best part of a fish especially if it's a realy oily one like salmon. I never eat shrimp heads myself but rather I suck the juice out of them. Incredibly delicious.
Anyone who thinks the south can't cook anything but deep fry needs to head on over to Texas for it's legendary barbecue. The king of all bbq is slow-cooked brisket:
Done right, it's pure lean beef done right that will knock you flat on your ass.
Barbecue and tex-mex is the reason why I call this place home.
I hate to rain on your parade, but no brisket is lean. Do you think Rudy's "extra-moist" is that way because they add water?
However, most of the tenderness from this normally tougher cut of meat comes from the fat cap often left attached to the brisket. The brisket is almost always placed with the fat on top so that it slowly dissolves down into the meat as it cooks, resulting in a more juicy and tender meat.
it was delicious and at the same time, I hated myself for eating it. I finished it, went home and promptly slept for 6 hours. I got up, answered nature's call, ran errands and worked the graveyard shift. I was STILL FULL from it at the end of my shift. I hadn't eaten in nearly 24 hours, yet felt it still residing inside of me as if I had just consumed a cinder block. I think I am still working off some of the saturated fat from that meal, 6 months later.

When I say lean I mean there's no stringy membrane in between the meat. This is the difference between well-cooked brisket and a poor one. If done right the meat is so tender it practically falls apart when you pick it up, but if done incorrectly there's all this stringy fat around a lot of the meat, which quite honestly is a pain in the ass to pick out.
Or it could be the quality of the meat, I don't know.
EDIT: The photo in the wiki entry that rufo linked is something else, boy howdy.

Oh, yeah. I'm definitely on board with the "brisket is tasty" and "brisket, cooked well, is probably the preferred food in Valhalla", but I don't want anyone under the illusion that it's a lean meat, because....well, no.
I just figure brisket falls under the fat makes it taste damn good category and move on with my life. God damn it I want a brisket sandwich smother in bbq now.
I cannot wait to feed my black hole stomach some good 'ol heart-attack inducing barbecue. I am going to load up on brisket and tex-mex like it's going outta style!
This thread is like a weird mix of food porn and food Goatse.
The fat sandwiches I'd heard of, since they apparently got started as something to sell to college kids, an audience that a) often had inhuman metabolism and b) often was inhumanly drunk, but things like that horrible hamburger-pizza sandwich make me feel kind of woozy just to look at.
I can't believe I lived in the South for nearly all my life and never had beef brisket until I came to California.
It's pretty much just pulled pork/beef and ribs in Alabama.

In re: the OP. Disliking Corn Dogs is un-American. I'm fairly certain you want the terrorists to win.
I just finished listening to an NPR podcast that had Paula Dean. 2 things:
Fried Butter Balls, which are apparently just deep fried butter? I don't even see how that can taste good, leaving aside the nutritional implications.
Some hamburger involving hamburger, a fried egg, and the bun being Krispy Kremes. I don't have any trouble believing that eating one of those would immediately result in death.

I hear it's a mixture of butter and cream cheese with maybe some herbs or something. I mean...that still is pretty bad but I guess it's not completely butter.

And the bacon. Don't forget the bacon.
How does that ever taste good? I know people keep talking about sweet and savory combinations like they're some kind of culinary revelation, but hamburgers and glazed doughnuts should not taste good together. That other lady was going to town on that burger in the video from a couple pages ago.

Well, with the default settings, I've gotten like 6 or 7 TOTPs in the same 2-3 threads today. It's insane, is what it is, what it is.
I hate you. I always, *always* get BP.
On a more on-topic note, I have a friend who swears up and down that chicken feet are delicious.
I really, really can't bring myself to imagine eating one. He describes them as warm and gelatinous... just ugh.
9A7YU7DI9HADGJKAHSDJKGHASDTGWIOEPRUY89PQWERYIO
WHY?
You know what else is warm and gelatinous? Warm jello. EAT THAT!
2 Pieces of white bred, buttered and fried on a gill,
Mayo (about 1 liquid ounce) spread on the fried bread
10 or so butter fried white onion rings,
4 slices of medium sized tomato slices warmed on grill (about 4 inches diameter)

Edit For Spelling.
E.g.: Breakfast Cake
Two layers of egg, sausage, bacon, cheese quiche with country gravy in between, topped with gravy icing garnished with bacon bits.

You forgot the bacon.
It's kind of a mood-dependent thing for me. Sometimes I want the egg, sometimes I don't.

It's funny how a lot of people who remove chicken skin would happily eat pig skin.
