The google points to a sausage-making book by the Marianskis. The
premise is that city folks would not have access to pig heads, so this
recipe calls for butt or picnic as well as pigs feet.

Funny menu. What's a yardbird? Chicken?
'Consuming raw or uncooked items could do your body harm'. Oh. OK.

I eat **** like this all the time at home. Did you see my recent can
of lamb and sheep tongues?

City head cheese would probably be a less objectionable form of
country head cheese - the classic version including lips, brains
(pork), and tongue. Looks like they use the tongue separately, so
their version od head cheese is probably just cheeks in their own
aspic. Cheeks jell up something severe - perfect for making a
headcheese all by their lonesome - maybe with the stock from their
other concoctions.

Their whole menu needs better descriptions. I see the waitdroids
spending a lot of time taking orders, and getting kinda perturbed or
impatient having to recite the same things over and over again.

I looked at the menu at:

Not sure if your link was the same.

Sounds interesting. What is yardbird? Makes me think of robins or
mourning doves because they're always on the ground.
