Question by Gigs:

What do you do with strips of cooked fatback?

I cooked beans with fatback. They taste great, but I didn\'t cut up the strips of fatback, so there\'s these large cooked strips of fatback mixed in the beans.

Is it customary to fish these out before serving? Was I supposed to have diced the fatback into smaller pieces?

Recipes for this don\'t really say anything other than "add the fatback".

No no, the fatback is to flavor the food. Not to be served. Although there are people who like to eat the fat back too.
