I plan to cold smoke and have it cook as needed like store bought bacon is. I have read and talked to alot of people on smoking forums about it for a while now. I have made several hams, canadian bacon, alot of smoked sausage, summer sausage, and jerky, all cured. I just can't find a place to buy the belly to make bacon. I might just get a boston butt and make buckboard bacon this weekend.

I know where you can get it in Houma (Marcels Supermarket) but not sure about Laffy......Go to a loacl grocer and ask them to order you some.

I'm not in Laffy, but I found some at a Messican grocer in BR when no one else had it.

Well i tried it on facebook without emphasizing KNOW and everyone and their grandmother told me where they MIGHT sell it. I'd rather KNOW.

There's a La Morenita Mexican Grocery/Meat Market in Laffy that should have it. Google it.

I know of about 5 stores 40 minutes northwest of Lafayette.

Oh if Lafayette has one that's where to go. I bought a couple at the one here in BR for $2.29 lb. problem I had was it needed to really be shaped up and trimmed but worth it. I had to ask for a fresh not frozen and he cut it off the whole hog right there.

Best Stop.
I bought some recently to make some cracklins at home. It's got to be the same cut you are looking for.
