Meat !

For all you meat lover out there , here'a an interesting bit of information . You've all had bacon right ? Or atleast dreamed of having it ? We all know that nothing beats fried bacon . Well something does actually . It's also pork , but only it comes from a different part of the animal . Bacon you see, come from the belly of the pig , and that meat has a specific name . It's called the panchetta . But the tastier bit is found in the cheek of the pig ! Can you imagine that ? That meat is called the guanchiale , I think ( forgive me but the spelling might be wrong , but if you pronounce it without the 'i' in the middle , that's exactly how to pronounce it's name ) This guanchiale , is found in such small quantities , that you dont even get it in strips like bacon of the panchetta . You get it in cubes , finely diced and chopped . Rumour has it , fried crispy guachiale practically OWNS bacon ! Hard to believe right ? Well , I'm an Indian , and pork isn't exactly the most common thing on my daily menu , so if your'e wondering how I got to know all this , it's from Masterchef Australia Season 3 ! Man , I love that show !
