has anyone ever preserved meats by salting them and then storing them? lately i've come across a few examples of cultures doing this before refrigeration. i was watchin bizarre foods with andrew zimmern (which is pretty much my favorite show - its on the travel channel) and some asians salt a bunch of raw pork and seal it in a glass jar for a week or so. apparently its pretty safe. lots of northern cultures also do this with fish. anyways, what are your opinions on the merits of this practice? seems like a good way to store meats to me. and you can always wash off most of the salt later...

Been there, done that. If you primarily eat foods - especially meats - preserved with salt you can expect to experience severe nutritional deficiencies. It is actually a very poor way to preserve meat if your goal is to maintian good health. If you want to use the meat as an object of art to display as a "still life" of preserved food for generations to come, then salt is probably a wonderful option.
