Default My Pig Head Cheese Porchetta

Deboned whole pig head, seasoned, cured(#1), rolled, tied 6 days.
Cooked sous vide 185-195 for 14 hours. Refrigerated 2 days, then
sliced and plated.

This turned out better than I expected. It was worth the time and
effort just making it for the experience. So having it taste good on
top of that was an added bonus. I was afraid it would be too porky
or offal tasting.

Served with "Everything bagel" French bread, horseradish sauce, mr.
mustard, and pickled okra.

This is the jowl end. The opposite snout end had most of the cheeks
and tongue - I'll cut into that end tomorrow.

The yield was 8.1 pounds from a 14 pound pig head. The ears were
cooked separately in a Korean marinade and will be cut in strips and
fried.
