Lets Talk About Food - Part 2

This Little Piggy Went To Market ...

The second installment about food has to focus on a major food group - Pork. Cured, grilled, smoked, braised - one can't say enough good things about the pork in Italia! Whether meats and cheeses, meat and fruit, served alone or with a contorni .... antipasta, primi or secondi ... They are all memorable.

  1. Yes, pork should have a different name in Italy, especially in Umbria where it is one of the absolute specialties in its fresh or cured forms.
