    I used bacon instead of pork lard and fresh beer (a maibock by Rogue instead of flat beer and it came out tasty!!!! I didn't go forward with the mushrooms and oysters. I served it with roasted broccoli and butternut squash risotto.

    My husband was sold when I said bacon was involved. Preparation was easy and the results were spectacular. They tastes was wonderful. Served with mashed potatoes, mixed veggies and bread.

    I really enjoyed this but the sauce was a bit to thin. Maybe adding more arrowroot next time. Also maybe less lemon with the mushrooms and add more than a cup of mushrooms. I also didnt add the oysters and wasn't sure what larded bacon was - just used regular thick sliced bacon. Wasn't a simple dish in that it required multiple steps and a lot of time, but not bad - and would do this again.
