Have you ever tried getting your pancetta cut thicker from the deli and then cutting it into ~lardons yourself? I find the texture to be much better that way in carbonara.

Real men punch it

Real men actually make their own pancetta instead of buying it from a store.

Today I start curing 2.5 lbs of fancy pants organic blah blah pork belly; will hang it in a week. And then about a month after that I'll taste my labours.

By punching them.

drat, how long does pancetta last? I'm going out of town for a week or so, (how) can I store it to make it last until I come back to make this again?

It's a dry cured meat, so in the freezer quite a while. In the fridge a while. In your cold cellar? Also a while.
