Picked up a nice belly from Costco last week that's curing now. $2.29/lb already skinned. One thing that I've never really thought about is if there is typically a better direction to slice from - one that will yield more consistent mix of fat and lean so you don't wind up with some slices all lean and others all fat? For example, in the image below I have lines indicating one possible direction of cut - the other possible would be a right angle from that. Or, does it 'just depend' ? Thanks,
