The pizza looks fab. I’ve never tried lardo– but I love Goose and will have to pick it up:)

I see a trip to the Goose in my very near future. Oddly enough, the lardo looks a lot like manchego in the picture, so now I’m craving chorizo, lardo and manchego. I love that your dad is concerned about your cholesterol! I think your dairy-free, soy-free, vegan scones probably cancelled out the melted fat on your pizza. That’s how it works in my book, anyhow.

I could recognize that beautiful white paper and black writing from a mile away. Lucky for me, it’s actually just a block down the street.

Katy, since you are so good with pizza, could you recommend a good white pizza recipe? And I am not a pesto fan.

Also, did I tell you I have started composting?

Jenn, that friend doesn’t happen to work there, does she? ‘Cause if so, I’m hitting her up for more!

We had our first lardo pizza a few weeks ago after a friend gave me a chunk from Goose. It wasnt as bold as I had expected, but a treat nonetheless……and a very far cry from my fat-free (sick!) days of old.
Bring on the fat! (But not on my belly, please.)

Thanks for the concern Dad ; )

Christine and Katherine, you must try. I’m not sure how much the specific curing had to do with the amazing flavor — so while I LOVE bacon on a pizza, I’m not sure bacon fat would do the same thing as the lardo. But it’s worth a try! Esp. since I don’t know how easy it is to get the real stuff. The Goose is a spectacular place.

That looks insane! I am actually, no kidding, literally, salivating and I did not even notice it until I had to do one of those slurping of my own drool at my computer desk. I want that right now.

What a timely post! I bought some bacon at the meat counter without looking at the side view because last time it was very lean. This time I opened up the butcher paper and it was fatty fat fat. I ended up cutting off huge swaths of fat before cooking the bacon. Now I have another idea for the container of fat strips in the fridge.

Just keep an eye on the old cholesterol dear, you know high cholesterol runs in our family. Other than that, it sound GREAT! And you know that I liked the beer part as well.
