historically pig heads were discarded at the processing plant and cost the pig farmer disposal fees from a rendering plant.
It’s great to see them getting use in Latino as well as finer dining venues. Typically a pig head sells for $7 and are fairly readily available. I generally throw heads in a pot with roasted spines and make a rich gelatinous stock, the meat is rich and as tender as pot roast. Just gotta have a really big pot.
