Forget Moussaka, let's talk about "Gournopoula" - Greece's ultimate crispy roasted pork

Body:
I wanted to share a regional specialty from Kalamata, Greece, that I rarely see mentioned online. It’s called Gournopoula.

While the traditional version is a whole suckling pig, you can easily make it at home by asking your butcher for a pork shoulder with the skin left on (bone-in or out). The key is the crackling.

The preparation is dead simple: you rub the skin with plenty of salt and some oregano, then roast it slowly for hours until the meat is falling apart and the skin becomes a salty, ultra-crunchy "glass-like" crust. In my region, we often eat it at room temperature with thick crusty bread.

It’s amazing how such a simple cut like pork shoulder can be transformed just by focusing on the skin's texture. Have any of you tried similar whole-roast techniques? I'm curious how it compares to things like Italian Porchetta.
