I have a question for all you charcuterie aficionados: is it common for someone to try prosciutto or pancetta and not like it uncooked?

I bought some of both... but couldn't get past the texture. The taste turned me a bit off as well. I fried both up in a skillet and they were phenomenal, but I was unable to eat either of them raw and actually enjoy it.

I had several friends who enjoyed it uncooked... but most of them still preferred it fried up. Is this common?

I might be wrong about this, but I'm pretty sure you aren't supposed to eat raw pancetta. It'd be like eating raw bacon.

That's what I thought it tasted like, too. I thought Prosciutto tasted somewhat like raw bacon as well.

I've read in many, many places that people eat Pancetta raw. It's cured so that it's supposed to be safe to be eaten raw... which is strange, because some companies that produce Pancetta put a label on it that says 'not to be consumed uncooked'
