trying to find back or belly

[scotty]

Ive been to 4 supermarkets and none of them carry belly or back.
I want to try making bacon. I'm marinading the buckboard bacon now

Save a lot
sweetbay
publix
wyn dixie
3 of them didn't even know what it was.
Ill check at sams club if i get a chance

Now i'm thinking of fileting the buckboard bacon before i smoke it

Scotty,

Do you have a local butcher? I think you would have the best luck. Some meat depts in the big chains can order "specialty" items

 

[walking dude]

i feel your pain scotty.........there are some stores around don't even know what a flank steak is........gypsy mentioned his local butcher said there wasnt suck a thing, i believe....

there is a thread round here that lists the cuts of meat and their numbers so maybe they can be ordered that way...........i will see if i can find it

[size=-1]Scotty, give these guys a call. They should have it or be able to without much issue, they look to be just down the road from you if you are in the area that I think you are.[/size]

 

[scotty]

Thanks all for replys.
All info saved. I will do some searching in 2 weeks when i get back from altamonte springs.

Thanks again all

 

[scotty]

I see they are just south of county line road. We go to weeki wachee almost every wednesday to a hardees bike group gathering. Maybe we can leave early one wed. and go check them out

If you order one make sure to ask for a fairly lean pork bellies. The first one I order from our local butcher was wrapped in brown paper and when I got it home it was a slab of nothing but fat.

Joe
I remembered that there is a huge butcher shop out in the country about 17 miles from my place.. After a conversation with the counter guy, i determined that they didnt butcher any animal on premises and that ALL thier meat was trucked in from a supplier.
They could order belly or back for me if i took 60 pound boxes of it. !95 a pound.


Family meat market is next on the list. I will also see what there is in altamonte springs next week when im watching grand children.

I also rememberd a guy that i bought a whole pig from about 7 years ago. I know he butchered it but ill have to check and see if he still does it.

How did I get involved with you people anyway??????

 

[walking dude]

lolol.........

its a curse scotty.....i am telling you.........its a curse

but a GOOD curse

[fatback joe]

Good luck, Scotty.


WD speaks nothing but the truth. LOL

 

[scotty]

Yes a good curse.

I go nuts looking for wine ingredients
Then im going nuts looking for a rectangular headlight bucket for the KZ1300

But who ever heard of going nuts looking for parts of a dead pig?????


WILL SOMEONE PLEASE EXPLAIN THAT TO ME?????? HUH PLEASE!!!!!!!

 

[walking dude]

a certain few of us.....you included........are BORN WITH THIS DESEASE

nothing to be ashamed of.......this is basically a support group for dealing with this genetic desease........instead of freinds of Bill W
we are freinds of Jeff................

meetings held here everyday, almost 24/7......but first you must admit you have a problem......then the healing starts...............LMAO..........GOD I KILL MYSELF SOMETIMES

I know things may get redundant, but if your store carries "side meat" that is sliced pork belly uncured,unsmoked. Then thet should have the bellies. This probably dont help,cause side meat = bellys

 

[scotty]

tom i'm a persistant fellow and will finD the source of supply and maybe will have to buy another freezer to store it.

If not ill have fun witH kielbassa and other sausages. Then ill geT to pastramis and other brisket and rib items.
This bacon is just calling to me.

SEE!!!!! NOW I"M BEING CALLED BY PARTS OF A DEAD PIG.

TAINT NATCHERELL I TELL YA

 

[walking dude]

in my case........ii would rather be called by parts of a dead pig, rather than my ex-wife............LOL


d8de

 

[scotty]

OK HERE PIGGY PIGGY PIGGY

[walking dude]
