===North America=== [[Alberta]], Canada: the typical jellied meat available in stores is labelled "head cheese", whether or not it is actually made from the head. The large Eastern European community in the province also has a (declining) tradition of making jellied meat at home, usually from pigs' feet, and this is called {{Lang|uk-latn|studenetz}} in the [[Canadian Ukrainian|local dialect of the Ukrainian language]]. [[Pennsylvania]], United States: In the [[Pennsylvania Dutch language]], head cheese is called souse. [[Pennsylvania German]]s usually prepare it from the meat of pig's feet or tongue and it is pickled with sausage. [[Wisconsin]], [[Illinois]], [[Michigan]], and other portions of the [[Upper Midwest]], United States: Head cheese and sulze are both made from pork snouts and tongues, but head cheese often uses larger chunks of smoked meat, while sulze generally uses unsmoked, chopped meat and has added vinegar and pickles. [[Louisiana]], [[Mississippi]], [[Alabama]], and other portions of the [[Deep South]], United States: The highly seasoned hog's head cheese is very popular as a [[cold cut]] or [[appetizer]]. A pig's foot provides the [[gelatin]] that sets the cheese, and vinegar is typically added to give a sour taste. It is a popular [[Cajun food]] and is often encountered seasoned with green onions. It is called in Louisiana French {{Lang|frc|fromage de cochon}}. In Mississippi, Alabama, and other Southern states, it is encountered in a spicy form known as souse or less spicy hog's head cheese. [[Newfoundland and Labrador]], Canada: Throughout Newfoundland, brawn is typically made from wild game such as moose and caribou. [[Ontario]], Canada: Commercial, processed versions made with pork are sold in the deli section in some grocery stores in Ontario, such as in the German 'heimat' of [[Waterloo Region]]. [[Quebec]], Canada: Called {{Lang|fr|tête fromagée}}, it is commonly available in grocery stores and butcher shops along with ''[[cretons]]'' and {{Lang|fr|terrines}}. [[Prince Edward Island]], Canada: Now uncommon and seen as old fashioned. It was common before 1970 and often referred to as potted head or potted meat. [[New Brunswick]], Canada: A spread similar to [[cretons]] made from pork head and [[Boston butt]] and seasoned primarily with onion, salt, and [[summer savory]], is often referred to as head cheese.
