Channel catfish (Ictalurus punctatus) is North America's most numerous catfish species. It is the official fish of Kansas, Missouri, Iowa, Nebraska, and Tennessee, and is informally referred to as a channel cat. In the United States, they are the most fished catfish species with approximately 8 million anglers targeting them per year. The popularity of channel catfish for food has contributed to the rapid growth of aquaculture of this species in the United States.

Lardo is a unique cured pork product produced in Italy. It is made from the thick layer of fat directly below the skin of a pig; the fat is carefully removed and cured in salt and spices so that it can be stored for extended periods of time.At one point, lardo was treated as the poor man's food in Italy, and it was widely disdained.at is notoriously difficult to cure, since it can become rancid when handled poorly. The first stage in the curing of lardo is cutting a number of small holes into the fat and rubbing and salt and spice blend into the holes.
