    I recently went to Incanto in SF and had their salumi plate. there was one item that I didn't recognize, and for some reason I didn't bother to ask the waiter what it was. here's a picture (not mine) - it's the thing in the bottom right. it was kind of rubbery and flavorless, though the rest of the dish was tasty. anybody know what it was?

    Looks like something maybe from the Head Cheese family. :?

    It sort of looks like pigs ears?

    I've seen mention of Coppa di Testa on their menu;
    the Italian version of head cheese.

    I just had the coppa di testa at Boccalone and it did not look anything like that. (It should certainly be more pink and have a less uniform interior.) Based on the photo and the OP's description, I'd go with pig ear.

    Basically what cilantro said. Had the Boccalone coppa a few months ago and it fits with cilantro's description.

    The other thing it could be is a tongue, in holland they used to do it like that....bland, rubbery and flavourless also fits the bill
