They're awfully nice socks.
Is this artisan pancetta a new thing? At the Nicastro's on Wellington, I've only ever paid about 22.90 per kilo (which still isn't cheap, but it's okay).

Ten bucks for 4 0z. of pancetta. Thats 40 bucks a pound or $88.00 per kilo.

That's 4 times as much as I have paid for some really good (made in italy) pancetta in this town.

Are they nuts ?

Is it from a Golden Pig idol ?

Was the pig fed lobster and caviar ? Or maybe the pig dined at Signatures and Beckta.

What ? ... Stick the word 'Artisan' in front of anything and jack up the price ?

It must of been 'Artisan Gasoline' we were buying during the summer.

Does anyone want to buy any of my 'Artisan Socks" ? Only $127.99 per sock.

At the Wellington location they have an "artisanal pancetta" from Niagara that is exceptional--the best I have ever had. Super-meaty, lovely porky flavour, with some rosemary notes. None of that rancid/oxidized flavour I get sometimes with other pancettas. Comes cryovac-ed and is found in the big refrigerated bin in the center of the cheese/deli area. Not cheap (like 10 bucks for 4 oz) and probably overkill for most applications, but in a pancetta-centric dish like al'Amatriciana I think it is worth the splurge.
