Apologies for my late arrival to this topic.
A few years ago, 3 maybe 4 there seemed to be a glut of pork cheeks available in my little corner of Essex. One of our local butcher’s stocked them, the butcher in Chelmsford market had them in abundance…then they were gone. The butcher in Chelmsford only had them frozen, our local fellow had to order them in with the consequential rise in price.
When readily available they became a mainstay of our “Curryfest” a bimonthly event where I would indulge myself cooking Indian for a group of friends or family.
Meera Sodahs Pig Cheek Vindaloo became a firm favourite as did Vivek Singhs Coorg Pandhi pork stir fry, where I replaced the pork belly with cheeks.

Whatever happened to the pig cheeks?
