Is there another name for pork temple?

I have always made my jambalaya with pork butts but I saw numerous times in the jambalaya thread that people use "pork temple".
I am in NYC and when I called the butcher to ask if they sold it he had never heard that term but said he could provide any cut I needed. Does anyone know what I should ask for from the butcher to get the right cut?
Thanks in advance.

Ha, yeah I know its from the head of a pig. The butcher asked if I want the pig's head whole or cut in half so I wanted to confirm what specific cut I wanted so I don't have to trim it all myself.
Thanks guys.

hmmm never asked for a pig head untrimmed. Curious on what a 1/2 or whole head cost. Report back

Bring a blow torch to the event to sear away the hairs on the top of said pigs skull(may he rest in peace) and provide sustenance.

Interesting timing on your post, as I was reading it while walking into Lamdendola's to source Honorable-Grand-Master Pochejr's *exact* ingredients.
It appears they now just call it "Jambalaya Pork". It's clearly the same meat as he pictured in the famous thread, in the same package. Except it now has a "Swift Premium" label, and it's $3.19 a pound.
Guess they've seen all the yokels like me run in to grab a pack... and have adjusted the price accordingly

They are not all one in the same.
They will actually have "temple meat", but you might have to ask for it, and it may be frozen.

Correct
, jambalaya pork is like stew meat, any extra pork they have cut into small pieces, also cheek is the same as jowel, but different than temple. They get the temple meat in 20 or 30lb frozen blocks and will cut you as much or as little as you need.
As for the OP , the butcher may have to special order it for you each hog only has 2 pieces of temple meat so even if he is butchering the pig for you, he would have to butcher quite a few to get you a few pounds of temple.

I use "cushion meat". The local butchers know exactly what I want and they do usually have to order it for me but it cooks up a lot more tender than regular jambabalaya pork that you buy cut up in the meat section.

Nahhh. Ask the butcher for the temple meat. He will ask how much you want and go cut from a frozen block. It costs $1.79 lb.
The packs labeled "jambalaya pork" are just cut up boston butts. And yes that meat cost more cause frankly most people don't know any better.
