Mediterranean kiwi said ... from now on, i'll never say it's cold in crete - that would be a lie. i checked out marc lester's photos, and i am rather grateful it doesn't snow here. in crete, we call the fattiest cuts of pork pancetta (they look like a small fatty pork chop, usually without - or with a very little bit of - bone), a sad imitation of the very much more refined original from our neighbours
