slab bacon

who remembers slab bacon on the rind?, was a pain to slice

Saved it for beans.

Yup, good stuff

Yep!

remember? still use the stuff

Good memories of what we ate back then.

We ate good!

Chewed it like gum.

Yep. I picked it up regularly on the way home from school and put it on our account.

Yup...not much refined or processed stuff growing up....

We killed our own hogs. My daddy packed the fatback in Mortens curing sald.

Still buy it at Fischer's every time we're down and freeze it to bring back up here.

We used to eat dry salt beacon Good when that’s all you had.

Seems as if I remember that my daddy didn't slice the skin with the salt pork and bacon. I remember fighting over the skin in a pot of white beans.
