Prosciutto

Who else likes it like I do?

Most folks like it mixed with something, other meats, cheese, crackers, wrapped around melons...

I love it like that too, but gimme a half pound of that stuff and I'll just sit there in the fridge with it open and just eating it like a dog that hasn't eaten in days.

How I was introduced to it:



And this is how I eat it now:

Diana likes to do with the veggies and tries to pass them off to me too.

And I like to cut up a bunch of cheddar into smaller cubes and then mix them. Of course crackers are out so when one or the other runs out, then I finish them with crackers. Or with the pepperoni. Or just right out of the package from the Italian deli.

Almost forgot the stuffed peppers, and I'll just buy that there and eat it for lunch!

I had to look it up and see what it is. Never had any.

Used to love ham but have sort of lost my taste for it in recent years. Fried and on a sandwich with mustard works

Love it!

Do not forget the other side when stuffing yourself with admittedly lovely tasting Parma ham -- Prosciutto.

Findings from farms located in the provinces of Brescia, Cremona and Mantua, shows pigs confined permanently indoors, in overcrowded, barren sheds, on bare concrete or slatted floors. The pigs have no bedding or enrichment of any kind, are living in their own faeces and urine, and have had their tails cut off. Many of the pigs seen were in dire need of veterinary care. EU legislation requires the provision of material such as straw which helps to prevent tail-biting which is the reason tails are cut short. The legislation also bans routine tail- docking.


“The conditions seen on these farms are cruel and in many cases illegal,” explained Sean Gifford, Head of Public Campaigns at Compassion in World Farming. “These pigs are not being treated as sentient beings, but as mere meat-producing machines.”

“Sadly, these appalling conditions are typical of many pigs farmed in the EU.”

Prosciutto is great. Hey Jim, don’t forget pancetta or sopressata.
