Pork Belly - I know it sounds gross or weird but trust me it is not. Pork belly is basically uncured bacon. Its flavorful, very versatile and damn tasty. Its not healthy by any means but if you eat it in small portions you can convince yourself you are doing good on your diet. I have only discovered pork belly over the past year and I have used it in many different ways. I am not ordering the really good stuff online but rather have found it very accessible at my local Chinese grocery - like $ 4 accessible. So seriously go out and find some, experiment and enjoy that porky goodness..........
you will be glad you did :)
I have never made pork belly,but you have inspired me. I am heading to the Asia Grocery!

Thanks for the Asian grocery tip... I have one close to my house but never thought to try there... and here I am waiting for the butcher to call me when he has available pork belly (which seems to be never!)
