...I know what area of the pig it comes from but when looking on line one description said fatty, another said quality.
Have any of you cooked with this meat? I was looking at a smoked pork belly recipe.
thanks

Think slab bacon! Uncured.

Bacon, yes. Pork Belly no. It's a big glob of fat with a little lean meat.

@Sooner Thanks, good to know...the recipe looked good but I was suspicious of the meat.

Pork butt is good.

I hate fatty meats. Tried a sandwich made from this meat once and couldn't eat it. Awful. Pure fat.

I watch a few cooking shows. Every time they show pork belly (and it's a lot these days, it seems), it almost turns my stomach. It looks like you would be eating pure fat, I love bacon, but not thick fat of pork belly. Maybe it's better than I think, since I've never tried it!

@Mom2Dogs Well, just use a different pork (tenderloin or pork loin roast, or country ribs even?) and adjust cooking time. I'll bet it would be even better!
