Cook the diced salt pork over moderate heat, stirring occasionally, so
that all of the pork pieces become brown but not too dry. Remove them
from the pan with a slotted spoon. Saute the onion in the pork fat just
until tender, but not brown. Add the water, corn, potatoes and salt,
cooking, uncovered, until the potatoes are almost soft. Add the milk and
simmer very gently for 10 to 15 minutes to let the flavor ripen. Taste
for seasoning, adding a good bit of freshly ground pepper. Sprinkle the
surface with the salt pork and serve with a large supply of soda crackers.
