Fatted Calf’s Salami


Yeah !! Clearly I had fun taking this shot. Uncle Laurent’s gift to the children (dinosaurs & palm trees) almost made it to their hands. I just had to knock off a few shots before E tore the leaves into tiny bits.
And yes, this last Saturday I visited the Berkeley Farmer’s Market. I wanted to see what Jan was up to at the Blue Bottle Coffee company and see what Taylor had in the way of sausages. I was hoping for the Spanish Chorizo, but it wasn’t ready yet and most of it was ear marked for the Spanish Table in Berkeley. He said he’s save me one, yay!
I walked away with this little salami. It is amazing, the first hit on the texture is bright and not too forgiving. Then, you break into the middle where it’s like butter in your mouth. The finish is clean and smooth without the bite of too much damn salt. YUM !!! This time I didn’t eat it all though …

  1. He can’t, it’s fused to his head. He was born without a skull cap and at birth they sewed it to his skull and after all these years it’s fused.
    No wait, that’s Joe Dirt.
    I have no idea then.
