I've seen recipes calling for them but what exactly are 'bacon lardoons'? [specifically what is a 'lardo!

Question: larding Method of adding fat to lean meat so that it does not dry out during long slow cooking. Narrow strips of bacon fat (lardoons) are threaded into the surface of the meat with a special ‘larding needle’ before cooking

~Hope this Helps!

A strip of fat used in larding, esp. as drawn through the substance of meat, chicken, etc., with a kind of needle or pin.

I think they are 'lardons'.
these are cubes of bacon with fat on, like pancetta etc. you can usually buy them ready cubed, or you can do it yourself from a nice fatty piece of meat
