La Fête de la Branda - Charcuterie


Cholesterol!

Charcuterie - mostly made from pork although the products in the smaller photograph are made from sanglier (wild boar). The hunters are out right now - every day I hear gunshots down the valley.

  1. This is almost more than enough to make me become a vegetarian.

  5. You have made me "salivate," Jilly. I am now in the USA again and I can't find those good things.

  7. Hmmm. . .Not sure if I would like that or not. . . .

    Love the blue dress from yesterday. . . Also, I used to teach with someone with hair like the blonde a few days ago! ;-)

    Thanks for visiting the site . . . I'm so sorry to have not commented lately. I have 20-30 pp of new written work plus annotations and revisions due monthly, and I am overwhelmed these days. Add trying to sell our house to that, and I'm a basket case!! :-(

  9. Oooo...looked very interesting. I wondered if the meat of a board is tougher than the normal pig.

  11. I'm not too fond of charcuterie. I'm very sensitive to salt taste, and find most of those sorts of products very, very salty.

    The gunshots in the valley would make me very annoyed!

  12. My partner will take the wild boar, and I will take nothing. :-) But thanks for asking.

  13. Utterly gorgeous, Jilly. Speaking of gunshots, for a memorable laugh take a look at this video of two duck hunters here in the Portland area. The second guy you see is my son Lamont's chef/owner. Hoy7 Hunting Team

    As usual, your photos are not only exquisite, they're of very interesting subjects, too. Wow!
