I have just returned to Rome after a lovely visit to a working farm near Pienza.
We sampled salami and prosciutto and were then introduced to the piggies. “Pre-prosciutto.”

Wow, what did that feel like?? I hope you were ok because I know that even as a meat-eater, it would have been a little weird.
I imagine it was interesting. Our neighbours keep a pig from late summer every year and then have a Celebration Lunch at the end of January when it is slaughtered so they can make their own sausages and prosciutto etc. We felt very honoured to be invited and I wrote about in a post.
Thanks for your recent comment on News From Italy about our disastrous Olive Harvest. I have replied there as I was unable to reply direct.
Have a good weekend.
Oh, dio mio! What a great photo! Makes me never want to touch prosciutto again! 🙂
Oh my gosh! Natalie, this is so morbid! Poor Prosciutto!
