With Iowa being the #1 hog producing state you'd think I could find fatback everywhere but no. I even tried Fareway where they have a butcher shop somewhat like the old time butcher shops I remember as a kid.
I'm in the Des Moines area. Anyone know where I can find fatback? If I can't find it is pork belly a 'close enough' substitute for making fresh pork breakfast sausage?
