So, one night, whilst stumbling in a drunken stupor through a supermarket, my buddy and I came across something I recognized from childhood.
It was a block of pork fat.

Like bacon, but without the meat. I was overcome with the need to buy this item and fry it.
Preparations began:

Then....listen to your heart pound as your veins clog.
This food....is both disgusting and delicious in ways I cannot describe. We were loathe to try it, then unable to stop eating it.
Thank you to Jamie for posing for the pics :)
Umm, you should stop buyin' stuff when you're drunk.

You are frightened of the pork goodness.
There is no need for that.
Go forth and fry.
Using Jamie as a model to prove it's tastyness does not prove any thing to me...
I've witnessed him eating cake, and washing it down with Jack Daniels.

I had a bad experience.. tequila night at Univeristy at Leicester, 19 years old, had shitloads of this, jamon serrano and chorizo (rec'd package from the in laws) then went drinking after 4 pints of DogBolter from a Firkin Pub.
Not a good night to remember :P
Salt pork: What us country folk call "fat back" because is basically the fat from the pigs back. It's damn good too ~
