Pork jowl bacon

[Sowsage]

I should ask the guy where I got my hog to save me jowls. He killed another 8 hogs today.

You really should ask him....chances are nobody is doing anything with them and they are trashing them. I see guys butcher hogs all the time and never give thought to that stuff.

Wow weee. They sure look great. Never had it but from what I see I would love it.

Guanciale! I like Basic, Salt, Pepper and refer dried. Great Fried like Bacon or as a start for cooking fat and Pork flavor in a host of Italian and other food...JJ
