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.
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!! :-(
I absolutely adore wild boar and porchetta charcuterie, Venison etc! Roll on Autumn.
And can you beat roast Goose dressed with apple and forest fruits in Germany around St. Martin's Day....not at all Fabulous!!!!!!! Good old European Gastonomy!!!!!!!!
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!
This is almost more than enough to make me become a vegetarian.
ReplyDeleteUmmmm, think I'll pass on the wild boar sausage Jilly.
ReplyDeleteI am willing to raise my cholesterol to try some of these!
ReplyDeleteCan you send me some!!!!
ReplyDeleteNow that is inviting!!
ReplyDeleteEt moi qui attendais la petite fée...
ReplyDeleteYou have made me "salivate," Jilly. I am now in the USA again and I can't find those good things.
ReplyDeleteWell, I like those red and white pieces and wonder for what they are used...

Cholestérol!" oui mais bonheur de manger de si bons produits ;o) alors oublions le Cholestérol un temps.
ReplyDeleteOooo...looked very interesting. I wondered if the meat of a board is tougher than the normal pig.

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.
ReplyDeleteThe gunshots in the valley would make me very annoyed!
My partner will take the wild boar, and I will take nothing. :-) But thanks for asking.
