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.

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.
