happy Holidays!
Yes, its the photo of the Bende bacon above , I am going to try and produce something similar. I just really love smoking and trying to cure items. Totally fun!
The "old" world , this may help. Years ago I lived in hungary for 2 years as a missionary. During that time i had the opportunity to participate in 2 separate diszno vagas or pig butchering from locals in the little town/village. They would take their spices/salt/paprika and mix well together, then take all of their cuts of meat, hams, loins etc. put it into a cast iron tub and heavily put the spice/cure mix all over and coat and cover each piece and then make sure all pieces were placed in the tub and the rest of the spice/cure was put on top and the only visible item was the cure/spice mix. it was left in that state 2-3 weeks.
Unfortunately, i wasn't sure what they did next? Smoke the items? I think they did.
