You are right, @weinoo but what do you call it when you throw together bacon, eggs, cheese and pepper with pasta for a quick meal? "Carbonara" in quotation marks, waggling index and middle fingers? Like my "Paella" and "Bolognese?" Seems unwieldy. (Full disclosure I call one a paella but the other a ragu.)
But, yes, it's a different dish with guanciale.
