*Product of meat scraps that, despite its name, is dairy-free

HEADCHEESE

This cold cut is often sliced thin and served in sandwiches, made by simmering parts of a pig’s head until the mixture sets into a loaf. Look for a two-word term that sounds deceptive to vegetarians.

This clue plays on the misleading name of "headcheese," which sounds like a dairy product but is actually a meat dish. Made from scraps like pork or beef head, feet, and trimmings, it’s bound together into a loaf—no cheese involved. The word "despite" hints at the irony in the name, steering solvers away from literal dairy associations. It’s a classic example of a clue that tests food knowledge and wordplay at once.
