Are you looking for something different to eat? I used to live in Maine and I had forgotten about this one. I never tried it myself, but it is recognized as a food to eat in Maine and also in Alaska?
Jellied moose nose is prepared by taking the upper jaw of a moose and after picking it clean of hairs, it is boiled and then simmered with herbs and spices and then allowed to cool and congeal. It is served, chilled and sliced.
He does have rather an interesting nose, I guess.
Oh yummy! Would you try it?

@Asylum Sour tripe is a culinary speciality in the part of Germany where I live. The mere idea makes me shudder!
Trippa al forno = 'oven baked tripe' is a culinary speciality in Tuscany, Italy. Sounds a bit better, but I haven't tried that, either.

Not quite sure if I would be able to get past the name. I would get a bit grossed out.

@IreneVincent congealed food isn't something I would try.

@ElusiveButterfly I don't care for congealed food either. Not even cranberry sauce that you slice.

I agree with you on that. If we didn't know what it was we would maybe like it

I'm thinking that it might look like sliced cranberry sauce

Nope it doesn't sound so good to me. However here in Latvia we do make a delicious cold jellied food made with pig's head and pig's feet. It may not sound too good but it really is very good.

Mince meat pie is actually originally made with meat from a pigs head here in the USA. I remember my mother in law making it when I first got married.

Are you kidding??? It's disgusting! Of course, one man's disgusting could be another man's delicacy.

It's true that what one person thinks is a delicacy is truly disgusting to another person.
