yes, it is.
when cooked properly, it has the texture of brisket.
firm, tender, tasty.

cooked longer, it falls apart and turns to mush.
i like to brown the cheeks in bacon fat, put into a crock pot filled with African spices & salt. Add cooked mushrooms, cooked garlic, cooked onions, and a little water.. or beef stock.
i cook my cheeks on high for one hour and 3 hrs on low.
anymore time than that, it's mush and would probably taste better in a taco.


good luck.
