After all the cutting he would pack them with salt in a wooden box that was taller than wide. Everyone around would tell him that he was packing the cuts backwards and when you got down to the better cuts they were so salty that boiling them didn't seem to make a big difference.
Yea only thing im packing with salt are hams and maybe a couple shoulders and the fat back. I ate a fresh pork chop never frozen last night it was good but a lil too fresh. I cant wait for the salty ham slices for breakfast biscuits then make gravy.
