Head cheese or brawn is a cold cut terrine or meat jelly that originated in Europe. It is made with flesh from the head of a calf or pig, typically set in aspic, and usually eaten cold, at room temperature, or in a sandwich. Despite its name the dish is not a cheese and contains no dairy products. The parts of the head used vary, and may include the tongue and sometimes the feet and heart but do not commonly include the brain, eyes or ears. Trimmings from more commonly eaten cuts of pork and veal are often used, with gelatin added as a binder.

The breed was first mentioned in the 1870s, and after the Howitt committee report in 1955, became the third most common sire in the United Kingdom after the Large White pig and British Landrace pig. The Welsh pig experienced a decline in numbers in the late twentieth century because consumer demands had changed and the carcase was considered too fatty. In 2005 the breed was considered endangered and later came under the auspices of the Rare Breeds Survival Trust. Since then numbers have expanded somewhat, and by 2012, the registered breeding herd had increased to over 1000 animals.

The Irish Greyhound pig, was the common pig in Ireland up to the 18th and 19th centuries and it survived in domestication until the start of the 20th. It was reported by Watson (1999) to have been rather unsympathetically described as a very rough race of animals- colour white, standing very high on the legs, with narrow carcasses,thick coarse bone,rough bristles,long noses and hanging ears. He also reports them as having been described as being rather slow to mature. The negative tone in descriptions of the pigs, it has been suggested, might be due to the difficulties faced by poor farmers having sufficient food for their pigs. Savage (1964) suggest the origins of these pigs is likely to have been directly from the wild boar rather than from the stock of other British domestic pigs. Savage reports the last surviving Greyhound pigs being recorded in County Galway from about 1900 and that remains were held in the National Museum of Ireland, Dublin.
