General butchering book

I cannot say I have come across the meat ingredients 'sausage bacon', and 'throat bacon'. Can anyone shed some light.

Hi Paul

I think the Throat bacon will be neck trim & the sausage bacon will be belly pork or 50vl streaky.

If it is a real problem I can get the correct translation from my colleague in Germany

Paul, in German bacon can come from just about any cut of pork if it is not turned into ham. However, the soft meat taken from the throat is mainly used for sausages cooked in water and then consumed, the rougher back bacon is used for raw and 'bratwurst' (frying /grilling / BBQ) sausages. Sausage bacon is, as far as I understand, what you would call sausage meat, the genuine pork sausage meat provided by any butcher. Now, by combining these ingredients you can influence the fineness and consistency of your end product.

Sorry the confusion, but I thought it would be worth making the difference, just to learn something.

Hope this helps.

Thanks for the replies,

On reading it originally, I was pondering wether it meant 'cured' meat (as in bacon)..

Basic Butchering Book

Already got a lot of useful information off this topic thread!

The basic textbook used by students in the US is The Meat We Eat. New, it's pretty pricey (around $100), but it's been around for so long that it's possible to pick up older editions used for about $10.
