Our platter of house-cured meats. We found it hard to pick a
favorite. They were all good and interesting. Nevertheless, though
I respect the chefs' craft, I don't see myself craving their food.
The meats came with a basket of bread (shown). Also, I like how the
"platter" was actually a cutting board.
The meaty details, first the top row left-to-right then the
bottom row:
- lavender pork lard (meant as a spread on bread) - too much for us.
"Yeah, that's fat."
- summer sausage
- capocollo (I may have heard this wrong)
- pig heart soppressata (or maybe simply pig heart; I can't
figure out from my notes whether soppressata goes with this or the
item below it)
- suckling pig salami
- suckling pig with walnut (the right end of the tray, between
the top and bottom rows) - I can't believe they managed to slice
walnuts that thinly
- grainy mustard - on bread, helps cut the fat of the meat a bit
- tongue mortadella
- beef with dill
- either soppressata or I missed the name
- duck prosciutto
The meats on the right half of the board tended to be stronger and
fattier-tasting.
