That sounds good by me. I watched a food show called "After Hours with Danille" who is a very prominent chef in NY. He would get a bunch of chefs and food writers together after the restaurant closed and cook up amazing stuff. He did a whole pig head which he actually steamed for quite a whil, then took the skin off carefully, layed it out then all the cheek, snout, brain etc. and rolled it into "head cheese" it looked great. I do buy headcheese, makes a great sandwich.
