I have no advice on the preserved pork product of choice, but wanted to give
you kudos for the effort of not simply feeding, but teaching the teenagers
about GOOD FOOD.  How many would have been just gotten packaged ham slices
because teens will inhale without noticing the details (oops!  I ate the
bowl!)  But it is up to parents like you, and me, and all our friends here
to teach the next generation what the good stuff is!  Keep up the good work
