i heartily approve, although i only really enjoy prosciutto, bresaola, and pancetta when they're cooked at high temperatures (fried, baked onto pizza, sauteed in oil with some vegetables).

Meat isn't something you can cure! It's something you're born w... oh, sorry, wrong thread.

(where "zh" is like the "g" in "gigi" and "uhl" rhymes with "skull")

Totally approve. That brisket's life was a misery and an embarrassment until it was cured. Now it's IN MY BELLY.

I misread this thread as "Curing Metal!" and thought out loud!

I REFUSE TO BE CURED OF METAL!

Prosciutto, Jambon du Pays, call it what you want, it all adds up to deliciousness.

Fantastic in all it's forms, hams, salamis, sausages, smoked meat, salted meat, dried meat.

this is the thread where matos w.k. schools you on the greatness of seattle's salumi.

― Ed (dali), Saturday, 28 May 2005 20:09 (eighteen years ago) link

Yeah! Can we get an ILX meat exchange scheme going? Sausage of the Month Club?

― Jetlag Willy (noodle vague), Saturday, 28 May 2005 20:10 (eighteen years ago) link

ilx already is a sausage party.

I've smuggled cuban cigars into the states, I'm not sure I could get away witth smuggling sausage.

― Ed (dali), Saturday, 28 May 2005 20:14 (eighteen years ago) link

it's all a game of "hide the salami."

If meat wasn't so sick you wouldn't have to cure it! Dahut, dahahahahahut!

We've smuggled White Pudding back from Ireland before, but frankly it's worryingly Spinal Tap.

what i'd love right now is a semolina hero roll with some hot cappicola and thinly sliced provolone. maybe some kind of herby oil on the bread too.

"hot" meaning "spicy" there

― Alex in NYC (vassifer), Saturday, 28 May 2005 21:24 (eighteen years ago) link

the drunker i get, the more i'm wanting that damn sandwich

― a collectivist romantic fling! (Jody Beth Rosen), Sunday, 29 May 2005 02:12 (eighteen years ago) link

i'll even pay extra for the sweet peppers

― a collectivist romantic fling! (Jody Beth Rosen), Sunday, 29 May 2005 02:14 (eighteen years ago) link

today my wish came true.

lunch, from beyond bread (i got the half-sandwich, which was pretty generously sized):

Enzo's Ending-NEW! $6.50
Pepperoni, ham, provolone, pepperoncini, lettuce, tomato,
red onion, Italian dressing on a Torpedo Roll. Half $4.25

and now for dinner i'm enoying some soppressata and asiago cheese that i got at trader joe's. it seems to have made it home ok in the heat, but if i get food poisoning i'll know why.

for those of you who haven't lived in heavily italian areas:

What is Sopressata?

A salami made from cured-dry pork and flavored with and black peppercorns. This meat cures between 6-8 weeks [air-dried]. It comes in hot and sweet flavors. It is also made with either ground black pepper or red pepper. {since they use a larger casing for sopressata, it takes a longer time to cure than the traditional Italian sausage.}
