 |  Headcheese Haiku |
 Headcheese Haiku |  The Headcheese Conjecture: After years of relentless work, Schatzie the Renegade Deli Heiress has finally solved The Headcheese Conundrum. Although it was surmised that Headcheese did not contain “Cheese”, we now have conclusive scientific proof that the following statement is true: “There is no Cheese in Headcheese”. We can all rest well, thanks to Schatzie. |

 Choppy Seas ahead |  When the going gets tough And the stomach acids flow The cold wind of conformity Is nipping at your nose When some trendy new atrocity Has brought you to your knees Come with us we'll sail the Seas of Cheese - Primus The phrase "Sailing the Seas of Cheese" means that the speaker is experiencing great personal change. The Seas of Cheese is an album made by the local band "Primus" in 1991. |

 Do not judge me unless you have walked a mile in my apron. |  Guest Headcheese Contributor Dear Schatzie, I’m Stormy Fuck Headcheese, Doris Fuckhead’s obnoxious cousin. She mentioned several times over the years about what a corrupting influence you were when you worked together and I reminded her that she wasn’t exactly chopped liver when in came to corruption and deli favorites. The adventures of Schatzie is wonderful. It got Don off the couch and a trip to PhotoShop. Stormy & Doris & Don |

*Headcheese /ˈhed.tʃiːz : A cold cut that originated in Europe. Headcheese is not a dairy cheese. There is no cheese involved.
Schatzie the Renegade Deli Heiress is a Graphic Artist, Wordpimp and Vegetarian. Schatzie’s father Bruno gave her the nickname “Schatzie” when she was but a young Mädchen. It means ‘little treasure’ in German. At one point in her life Schatzie found herself helping (but mostly hindering) her beloved parents Bruno and Cindy in their European Delicatessen, surrounded by...meat, and yes... *Headcheese.
Being a Vegetarian and Animal Empath, she was overcome with angst. Fueled by cognitive dissonance she fervidly began to create deli art as a coping mechanism. Along the way she developed a somewhat unhealthy fixation with the cold cut *Headcheese, (a fixation which she never did quite shake). She is the creator of the only Headcheese Gallery in the world.
Schatzie wasn't always a Vegetarian. Her school lunchbox contained a Braunschweiger sandwich, while her classmates enjoyed peanut butter & jelly. Dinner was oxtail soup, cooked by her Jamaican mum Cindy. And Bruno treated her to raw meat tartare or bacon grease on toast.
Schatzie's deli daze are over and she is truly a Renegade now, but she did not escape unscathed.
Self portraits of Schatzie in her homemade dress were taken with her i-phone alone in the deli late one night.
Sadly her parents beloved delicatessen, The Junket closed in 2021 after 42 years.
You can take Schatzie away from the Headcheese. But you can’t take the Headcheese away from Schatzie.
