Here, though, they call it salt pork. It's usually in the meat section (pork area) on an upper shelf and wrapped in plastic.

This link suggests blanching salt pork,I assume, to desalinate it before sustituting it for fatback. http://sonic.net/~alden/MeatcureBacon.html Fri Mar 28 18:50:07 -0700 2008 3539049 105235 wolfe 3 3539718 Corrrect, they are not the same thing. Any respectable butcher will sell pork back fat on special order. Sat Mar 29 00:22:29 -0700 2008 3539136 11742 dudesinmexico
