Wikipedia
Salt pork or white bacon is salt-cured pork. It is prepared from one of three primal cuts: pork side, pork belly, or fatback. from Answers.com from Recipezaar from recipietips.com Depending on the cut, respectively, salt pork may be lean, streaky, or entirely fatty. Made from the same cuts as bacon, salt pork resembles slab bacon but is considerably saltier and not bacon-cured nor smoked. Long used as a shipboard ration, from Cyclopædia salt pork now finds some use in traditional American cuisine, particularly Boston baked beans, and to add flavor in the boiling of vegetables. It generally is cut and cooked (blanched or rendered) before use (see Lardon).
[edit] About Salt Pork
Salt pork is used to flavor beans, greens, potatoes, and more, and was a lifesaver during hard times in America’s past. It’s still a staple item in the American South, though it's become less popular as people became more salt conscious.
There are two kinds of salt pork: the pure white, full-fat version, and the meatier ‘streak o’ lean’.
