What does LARDON mean in Scrabble?
noun
A small strip or cube of pork fat or bacon used to add flavor and moisture to a dish, especially in French cooking.
Cooks render lardon in a hot pan before adding other ingredients, which releases fat that seasons the rest of the dish and leaves the small pieces crisp. The word comes from French and is closely tied to classic dishes such as quiche and coq au vin, where a handful of lardon lends a smoky, salty depth. In English the plural lardons is common, and the word is sometimes spelled lardoon in older recipes.
