You are my new God.

HoneyB – Thanks, Shelby! Fat is a very attractive and yummy ingredient for us foodies hopefully it’ll regain popularity soon!

andreea – the pancetta was crispy and delicious! I’m so glad I stumbled upon this contest!

Katie – You should totally try out this recipe, especially if you love bacon (or pancetta in my case). The flavor is strong, but so good!

eatingclub – Thanks for stopping by! I will never go back to the jarred stuff after this… You should give it a go when you get the chance

Thanks Kevin! The pancetta was one of my favorite parts, too!

Adam – haha, the bacon definitely changes the taste. It’s a lot different than store-bought mayo (not as jiggly and funky looking if that makes any sense). I’m always up for defending fat

Millie – Thanks! That’s why Hungarian food must taste DELICIOUS!!

Tim – haha, I think the real genius is Jennifer McLagan and Mark Bittman, of course.

Naama, you can have as many slices as you want! I’m glad you liked it I wish I could ship some to you overseas!

Nate – Right?! I couldn’t have said it better myself.. pork fat does, indeed, RULE!

silverkeys – Oh, no!! You could always make it with bacon like the recipe suggested. Sorry to hear that

Jaime – thanks!! Fat photographs so well

canarygirl – Nikki, you should totally make it!! Let me know how it turns out, I’m sure you’ll make it rock with your Spanish touch!

Jenny – It was so, so, YUM!

Mrs. Ergül – oh, Thank you!! I’m glad I can do it justice

PG – Doesn’t it?! I find it to be less “icky” than the store bought stuff that’s almost always congealed and blah. Thanks for stopping by! I can’t wait to check out your blog, too!

Cecil – You took the words right out of my mouth. A recipe has to be really, really tempting for me to sacrifice the clean smell of my kitchen, haha! This one, I’m glad to say, was totally worth it
