My momma used to make corn bread with fatback throughout it you talk about dang good with some pintos yum. I also add vinegar to greens.
Yes, very good in pintos, cooked down green beans or even greens!
Seasons it all up;)
Vinegar on greens is very good too!

You want to get seasoned. You can simmer it in water (change your water a couple of times) to remove a lot of the salt. If you are going to fry it up, then pat dry and have at it. You can add it to a pot of beans (pintos, etc.) and it will flavor them right up.
So you use it as salt pork?

Or do you use it unseasoned?

‘Streaked meat’ was a new term to me too...

Okay, yeah we just call that ‘salt pork’ or ‘seasoning pork’ or ‘fatback’

I don’t know that I’ve ever had it fried on its own... that’s what bacon and hog jowl is for, lol
 
She'd take it cut it into tiny pieces and mixed it into the batter for corn bread it was good stuff. And yep we always added fatback or bacon to beans.

My grandpa only cooked one thing and that was cornbread that he learned to make in the navy...

it would drive my granny nuts to see him in ‘her’ kitchen...

he got her wound up one time, he winked at me like ‘watch this’, then asked her if the cup of milk was to be “heaping” or level... and she kicked him out the kitchen :lau
