Salt pork is a cured product and generally contains a streak of meat while fat back is raw, uncured and contains no meat. As the name indicates, fat back comes only from the back of the pig while salt pork can come from other areas of the pig. However, any pig any part any way it's all good.

One and the same!! They are "Zachary". Now let me direct your attention to Blog 14, this is IMPORTANT, if you do not wish to have flatulant or gassy beans! You cannot use a metal or a solid wooden spoon. It must be a slotted wooden spoon. The Scientific explanation is that when you rotate the spoon clockwise 3 times over the pot the slots in the spoon create a "mini" tornado inside the pot which increases atmospheric pressure. This causes the gaseous elements to compact. Then when you tap the edge of the pot it cancels that action. When, you rotate the spoon counter clockwise, it reverses the action and releases the compacted gaseous elements into the atmosphere and not in you tummy. Continuing this throughout the cooking process, guarantees that these will be "special". Actually, you should make Monetary Wagers on these beans being "FREE". Eat beans and make money at the same time, WOW, win,,,,Win,,,, Please let me hear of you wonderous results. Your unknown friend, Dale Sellman Hi Jess,

I use ham in Lima beans, not pinto. You can use bacon too if you can't find salt pork. It’s the same as far as I’m concerned!

I have used ham before, but a friend of mine suggested fatback.

I come from a long line of Texas bean cookers and I am now their queen! I always had a soft spot in my heart for ol' Bob..you're right...you gotta admit - his love of Texas was NEVER in question, no matter what shananigans he was up to! My daddy's family were poor cotton farmers in the '20s, '30s and '40s around the Waco area. They were so poor that when people came to visit, Granny just added more water to the beans. They ate so many that Daddy suffered with gout later in life, mainly from so many purines in his body from the frijoles. I say bring it on....I'm not about to not have my pintos! Nice blog you have.
