Pork Fat

[jmcrig]

Ok I've hit a dilemma. I'm all outta pork fat and no one around seems to have any. Anyone use Bacon as an alternative??

I know this is about 6 months late, but here's the number of a meat business just up I 29 from you.

Saint Joseph Prime Meat Co
4801 SE US Highway 169, Saint Joseph, MO 64507 (816) 232-0333

Call him a couple of days in advance, especially in deer season, he'll take care of you. Ask for Tom, I grew up with the man.

We have used bacon ends and pieces 4 pound box cheap, when making deer sausage. Gives it kinda Smokey flavor. CF

I have to echo CF. That is exactly what we use with our deer sausage.

I went to the store yesterday to check on bacon ends and pieces and the only thing they had was expensive so I asked the butcher and he just gave me 5lbs of trimmings no charge.

PT, you must of put that hang dog face on the butcher. CF

I like to buy the "store brand" or house fat bacon when it is priced right. Takes to the freezer pretty good as long as it is sealed.

I found 3 lb boxes of them at save a lot for $5.00, not too cheep, but i like the flavor it gives.
