We started out early today for our trip back to Italy. We drove through the Alps through Austria. We stopped at a reststop and decided to do Norwegian for breakfast - hence, fishy baguettes - quite yummy actually. Didn't quite go with my cappuccino though.
It snowed as we drove through Austria which was beautiful. We stopped along the way and was able to walk through freshly fallen snow. Here are some pics right before the Brenner Pass (between Austria and Italy).
Today was part 1 of the long-awaited pork day -
WARNING - graphic pork pictures to follow - please don't look if you're going to be offended, esp if you think it'll turn you away from pork because I would definitely not want to do that!!
We arrived after they had quartered the pig and were separate the fat from the skin and the meat. The plan is: salami, sausages, render fat, pancetta, boil head, prosciutto, and misc
Today we ate some of the freshly cut meat and it was awesome! so fresh! We also ate some liver which were wrapped in a netting made from the pleura (that's what the story sounded like anyway).
I didn't get to participate in today's events, except the eating part - yum! But tomorrow I'll wear something warmer so I can play with piggy parts too :) And there will be more eating tomorrow also. I hope to have more pics tomorrow of yumming pork day.
quarter - meant for prociutto
last year's ham
heart and liver
pancreas - aka sweat breads
grinding the fat
grilling the pork
