The photo for kalvsylta on the wikipedia page as well is, completely unironically, very photogenic compared to some alternatives.
Whatever recipe my grandparents make turns out a perfect concrete gray, I cant even find a photo on google that would illustrate it.
Its edible, but thats about it. I can only imagine its comparable to jellied eels in being designed out of desperation to save every single bit of nutrient possible with no regard for anything else.
I never got sick from eating it at least, but it is a cold jelly of meat, salt, pepper, onions and maybe some other minor seasonings, so its definitely the kind of thing that might be a textural atrocity for some and generally kind of bland, particularly if you wont eat beets like me, so its just the jelly.
I'd assume making it from an actual head might have some stronger or more interesting flavors, but generally I think its made with just plain veal so that isnt gonna be much of a help here.

you are going to make me cry
I mean I'll be perfectly honest the kalvsylta just looks like headcheese which isn't that bad. The cheesecake thing sounds like an attrocity though
