Fatback is a cut of meat from a domestic pig. It consists of the layer of subcutaneous fat under the skin of the back, with or without the skin (pork rind).
In popular culture
The 1954 rhythm and blues song "Fat Back and Corn Liquor" was written by Louisiana songwriter Rudy Toombs and sung by Louis Jordan. It was released by Aladdin Records as the A side of a ten-inch 78rpm record.[1]
Hunter S. Thompson includes a mention of fatback in his book “Fear and Loathing on the Campaign Trail '72.” In the chapter “April,” Thompson mentions in the footnotes: "It was sometime after midnight in a ratty hotel room and my memory of the conversation is hazy, due to massive ingestion of booze, fatback, and forty cc's of adrenochrome."
