Fat Back

So I try to eat healthy.  My diet consists heavily of smoothies, grilled fish, and rotisserie chicken, but when I take my yearly trip to North Carolina, to visit my dad's side of the family, that pretty much goes out the window.  My dad always tells me about some of the things that he loved as a kid but no longer eats because it's more of a southern thing and now he knows how bad it the food is for him.  One of those tasty childhood treats is fat back.  What is fat back you ask?  It is literally the thin layer of skin and thick layer of fat from the back of a pig . . . fried -_-.  I've heard about this for years, but just the other day my grandmother was eating some and asked me if I've had any before.  After I said no she said that I have to try I piece, so I asked for the smallest one possible.  It wasn't bad but I don't think I'm going to integrate friend pig fat into my diet.
