Oh shit, I’ve eaten (raw) pancetta 🤦🏻‍♀️

[ohfourfoxache]

Took it out of the fridge thinking it was prosciutto....how much trouble am I in?

Should have added I stopped at 1 slice......only stopped because it was a bit slimier than I had expected it to be 🤮

Euw, you'll probs be fine. Maybe have the squits at most. That's really grim though, it can't have tasted nice.

You can eat it raw !!!

Yep I've just googled, it can be eaten raw.

Still gross.

Pancetta can be eaten thinly sliced and raw, similar to prosciutto, but more often it is cooked, which gives it an intensely savory flavor. Think of it as maxed out bacon

It's salt cured; you'll be fine

It won't do you any harm, but I'm amazed you got past the first bite!

It's cured so fine to eat raw.

You'll be fine, I've done it too. Didn't have a dodgy stomach either afterwards.

I wouldn't do it again though, it's much better cooked.

It’s cured, so not exactly raw.

It's not that different from eating steak tartare or carpaccio I suppose. I wouldn't it's gross and grim. That's a bit silly and 6-year-old like behaviour.

I’m just glad it was pancetta and not what I originally thought your title said. I thought you’d eaten raw placenta 😂

Mmmmm.....placenta

Thanks for the reassurance that dh isn’t going to find me with my toes turned up when he gets in from work - even if I’ve got the shits I guess he’s seen worse!

We used to eat it raw at home with lemon juice and pepper, never suffered any consequences!
