An Interesting Menu

Yesterday David and I went out for breakfast at a local greasy spoon restaurant. I won't mention the name or location of the place but it was not far from where we were camping. Every time we passed by the parking lot was full so we felt it must be pretty good. We were not even sure it was a restaurant. The name was painted above the door but there was nothing to indicate what was inside. We went in and got our table and were looking at the menus when I saw something I have never seen in my life. There I was reading along trying to decide what I would order when I came upon... fatback! I have heard of fatback before but I thought it was something the old-timers cooked with, throwing a little piece of fatback in their beans to flavor them up. But this fatback was being served with biscuits and gravy and people were eating it. Needless to say we didn't order it but I almost wish we had just so I could have seen how it is served. I am sure I wouldn't have eaten it but it would have been interesting to see. David asked our waitress about it and she said almost everyone who eats there orders it. ICK! I can't imagine eating that. So that was a first for me to see it listed on a menu in a restaurant.
