Source for Fatback

Beer Drinking Dog said:

Anyone know a source for fatback? I've tried using salt pork, but it's
not the same--too salty.

I live in the Phoenix, AZ area, but a generic source would be okay.

Thanks in advance.

Neiman Ranch sell it for about $5/lb, if you really want to mail
order it.

Go to one of the Ranch markets around town. Not the 99 Ranch market,
but the mexican ones. There is one on Thomas I believe....

Any market in your area where there is an old fashioned meat counter with
your friendly butcher behind it should be able to help you. As Christine
says, any Mexican market can do this. As well any Chinese market can,
including Ranch 99, can.
As you know, you need "back fat", and you have to make certain this is what
you are getting. If you're making pate you unquestionably need back fat. I
sure wish I could find non-hydrogenated fresh lard in the Bay Area. So far I
haven't been successful.

Good Luck,

Kent

Any Mexican market that makes their own chicharrones and/or
carnitas will have fresh lard. That includes most all the
Mexican markets in East San Jose. I can't vouch for the East
Bay.

I went to a Mexican market this weekend and what they sold me wasn't
fatback. Not sure if it was a language issue or what, but it wasn't pure
fat and I was too embarrassed to complain. I bought it and a soda and
left. I'll try looking up Ranch Market and try again.

Thanks!

side of the valley next weekend and stock up on beer and fatback.

Well, that's an option if I can't find it locally.

Thanks!
