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.
