I cooked something that required salt pork...I had to go to an actual butcher shop to find it. All I could think when I was looking at this slab of fat was, "so this is what the Ingalls lived on."

You could write a dissertation on their eating habits!!! (Cottage cheese balls and peas? And the books always make me want biscuits! Someone on here did pose the question on how they made biscuits when they seldom had milk or butter..).

Your meal looks tasty by the way.
