Head Cheese
![Red Meat, Food, Ingredient, Animal product, Recipe, Cuisine]()
Like everything on this list, it’s not literal cheese. This is a meat jelly that’s made out of the head of a calf or a pig. Funny enough, making head cheese doesn’t require the use of gelatin. In other meat dish-making process they use gelatin – a process of boiling animal bones and using it to keep everything together. With head cheese, you can skip this step as the meat from this part holds together.
Stigghiola
![Stigliola A Palermo, Food, Ingredient, Recipe, Cuisine]()
This isn’t a pasta, but rather goat or sheep intestines wrapped around a skewer and grilled. Along with the skewered intestines, a leak is inserted along with it during the grilling process. It actually is a tasty dish despite what it actually is.
Mountain Chicken

Another literal name dish, it’s actually a giant frog. Fortunately, you will not see this on the menu any time soon for rather unfortunate reasons. A long time ago, many considered the mountain chicken to be a delicacy and now the species is severely endangered.
