Is it made in China? Perhaps it's a typo or made-up French.

No results on French and Belgian Google pages, neither on francophone pages. There is a word pansette, but those are edible parts I would not recommend. Lots of recepes though. Yes, it may be a Chinais word.

pansette

Tripe, menudo, pancita, mondogo ...

Yes well, you can keep the treep.(sorry, i know in some countries it is the most delicate of treats)

It reminds me of 'pancetta'. Not that that makes much any more sense.

Sorry latishya, 'j'adore pansetre l'amour' really makes not much sense. It says " I adore (mystery word) love".
Can't be that bad.

Pancetta , much better than pansette.

Latishya. I asked a francophone co-worker, and he agrees with me: pansetre doesn't mean anything (in French). He said it could be Quebecois, but I doubt it.

That would be pante tre

But there's always one cheerful song or other. Pansey?
