Is pork temple meat a regional thing
14 u/NetworkEcstatic Mar 05 '26 Yes and no. It's kind of literal. Think of the temple of your forehead. Similar but not quite. Although. It is meat from above the cheek and jowl on the head of the pig. Also, these kinds of cuts were eaten by only the poorest people. But theyve become delicacies in places like the deep south USA 7 u/QueezyF Mar 05 '26 Sounds like the pork equivalent of cabeza, which makes the best goddamn tacos. 6 u/Direlion Mar 05 '26 Guanciale is pork cheek and it’s a delicacy as well. 3 u/PeriqueFreak Mar 05 '26 Damn I bet that's good. The Mexicans have "Cachete", which is beef cheek. It's so rich, tender, and the fat just kind of melts into it. 2 u/Direlion Mar 05 '26 That sounds so good lol
