Cooking / Culinary
Carré d’Agneau rôti, asperges à la ventrèche, chapelure de chorizo.
As far as I can see it has something to do with this
http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ventrèche
but I'm not sure what it would be called in English.
Is this just a fancy name for asparagus rolled in bacon?

Comment: "I've chosen to keep the French and to put "similar to bacon" in brackets, because I really feel that very few customers will know what it is.
Thank you everyone for your suggestions and references."

asparagus with / in bacon
ventrèche is really uncured belly pork, so not literally bacon as such; however, I think that would probably be the closest way to describe it in EN.
Not sure about the 'rolled' bit though...

OK, so Bourth has found that ventrèche can indeed be cured — though the variety we have down here isn't usually; definitely like streaky bacon, though
