What or where on the hog does fat back come from. My butcher says it's a southern term and has no idea.....other than maybe it has to do with pork belly. I would like to get some from him but need to know exactly what it is.
Great job with the tutorial James.
You may want to try Cloverdale Meats in Mandan if you are ever down this way. I looked around for Pork Bellies for bacon and they were by far the cheapest (I got this tip from a fellow SMF member in the Minot area - Thanks again Marty) at $2 a pound. I am sure they would know what you want and be able to get it for you! That is if you can make it past all the oil trucks to get here!Thanks guys. Now I know how to describe my needs. And your right. The place I normally purchase meat gets everything pretty much cut up. We do have a local butcher shop, but I think all he butchers is local beef. I'll check with him and see if he may also butcher hogs.
