Well, actually, yes. See the link for an example.

(I once hosted a pig roast for a large crowd. At the end, a guest seized the entire remaining head and gnawed on it, pronouncing it some of the best of the day. To this day, I wish I had a picture.)

If you had grown up in the Midwestern U.S. like I did, you may have been exposed to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Head_cheese.

You should avoid the picture. My wife is a pescetarian. It's not a nasty picture, but it's probably best viewed by carnivores and omnivores.
Note from asker:
Being a strict vegetarian, I'm a bit wary of taking a look at the links in case I see something nasty that might give me nightmares tonight! It's amazing what a simple menu can do! But I trust your answer :)
Ok, thanks for the warning :)

Takk for det, Leif. Det har vært altfor lenge siden hodesylte var på bordet hos meg . . . . :-)
