Where is the meat!?For £8 I'd expect a lovely joint of meat. We opened this and there's barely any meat included, it's only the fatty rind and a slither of meat. Avoid.

Belly fat, not belly pork!! Disgusting!!I bought this to try, I wish to god I hadn’t! A total wast3 of money, more fat than meat, I’m totally disgusted!!
I have been cooking belly pork for years and never, never in all that time have I had anything like this!
Not enough for 2 people to start with even if it was edible, then no crispy crackling because there was so much fat on it and in the packet. When you cut it it’s like sludge, that’s the only thing I can compare it to, absolutely heart attack food!! That was after 8 tried to drain all the fat it was cooked in on kitchen roll!
Never would I buy this again even at 50p!! How can you sell this dangerous food to you customers??
No photos as threw it in the bin!
I wasn’t expecting a very big piece, that in itself would have put me off but the fat and sludge within it has put me off for life.
I only bought because I was tired ugly it might be a nice quickish dinner, how very, very wrong I was!! If I could give a minus score I would!

A miracle has happenedI am a very good cook, still am if one can get the right ingredients when having to shop online. I bought Sainsbury's belly pork joint, which cost pence less than this. My aim was for wonderfully rib sticking (high calorie) unctuousness. The joint that turned up was far too lean to cook slow cooked belly port. However I tried, slow cooking for hours on end. The result was far from my expectations. Simply not enough fat! (Probably as those not aware belly port is meant to be fatty, have got their way for leaner bred - doesn't work for this dish. SO, when I saw this I gave it a whirl. Oh my. I cooked it as instructed but towards the end it looked as if it could dry, so I tipped in some hot water, just sufficient to cover the meat and not touch the crackling (pork fitted dish, so not really a lot of water added). That trick worked a treat. Even though I oiled and salted the crackling I did not achieve a good result, fair but not good. I recommend you do as another reviewer did i.e. remove the crackling after and blast it on a higher temperature for some while, taking care not to burn it or put y our house on fire. Yes it is fatty, glorious bubbly frothy fat with the lean oh oh oh so tender. Will I be buying again. Yes, because it turned out better, although a tad expensive certainly no more expensive than trying to cook it to perfection y ourself. If you don't like fat. Don't buy it. The neauty though of fatty meat it has more taste, and the fat makes you feel full so you do not need a large portion.
