mpb Posted November 21, 2011 Report Share Posted November 21, 2011 It seems my previous topic on where to find Pancetta has been deleted. Anyone know why and again, does anyone know where Pancetta may be found. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gary c. Posted November 21, 2011 Report Share Posted November 21, 2011 I had to look up what pancetta was. Seems like someone should be able to help you find this. Have you asked at Tony's meat market or the newer meat market by the seafood store in Ajijic? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mpb Posted November 21, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 21, 2011 Yes. Tony's said they didn't carry it and the closest was bacon and had no idea where it might be found. Bacon to Pancetta is like oysters to muscles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gary c. Posted November 21, 2011 Report Share Posted November 21, 2011 I found your original postings ... it's under the restaurants thread. Someone did give some answers about finding it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mpb Posted November 21, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 21, 2011 Thanks. I see where it was moved. Doesn't the moderator usually indicate when a topic has been moved? I'm still open to any suggestions with any local outlet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

simpsca Posted November 21, 2011 Report Share Posted November 21, 2011 Years ago I bought it at Sam's Club but don't belong now. Perhaps Pancho of Superlake can get some for you. Worth asking. If you find it let me know - I also want some. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
qwerty Posted November 21, 2011 Report Share Posted November 21, 2011 Yes. Tony's said they didn't carry it and the closest was bacon and had no idea where it might be found. Bacon to Pancetta is like oysters to muscles. Oysters to muscles??? Oh! Mussels!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jkgourmet Posted November 21, 2011 Report Share Posted November 21, 2011 http://www.buzzle.com/articles/pancetta-substitute.html I still say prociutto is a reasonable substitute (especially if it is not cut paper thin). And I have used bacon as well, but I blanched it first to take out some of that smoky flavour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mpb Posted November 22, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 22, 2011 I want to thank all that helped. I found some in Walmart. I go there weekly and never noticed that they carried it. There are more than a dozen packages for those that are still looking for some. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RVGRINGO Posted November 22, 2011 Report Share Posted November 22, 2011 You might like 'Jamon Serrano', available at Mega and other large supermarkets with a good meat counter/deli section. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Travis Posted November 23, 2011 Report Share Posted November 23, 2011 Stand at the Walmart bakery counter and pretend you're buying a donut. The refrigerator is just to your left. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

geeser Posted November 24, 2011 Report Share Posted November 24, 2011 I have seen pancetta all rolled up for sale at Mega the beautiful grocery next door to Costco on Colima hwy or in same parking lot with Costco on Avienda Vallarta corner C. Sanzio Raphael in Guad. They used to have it in Costco in a gondola cooler in front of the meat area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
