oh my this is so hard... either bacon, or pork rillets. or lardo. or jamon.

I got my boyfriend this huge Wusthof cleaver one year for xmas. Its so heavy, I could never use it, but its so bad ass looking.

Straight into my mouth! Nom!

Plain! Freshly sliced right off the slab, its perfect!

On a truffle pizza. A-maz-ing.

All by itself!

In Italy, with a view of the sea. ;)

Hill Country

Just because I've been out of the south for so long... Hill Country NYC. They know the fat is where its at.

Truffle pizza with smoked mozzarella. Nom.

By itself, with a glass of wine.

Mmm I LOVE duck hearts and tongues, bu I also love that crispy skin... and pate of course. Favorite has to be duck rillets though!

Having non-traditional (to you) food at a wedding is a big plus I think. In fact, I went to a vegan friend's wedding last year and was disappointed that there was not more vegan stuff -- because I wanted to see what awesome things they could do without meat when they really pull out allt the stops (her family owns a vegetarian restaurant). They went out of their way to please the meat eaters instead, and it was just average (and that's coming from a meat eater). I find that lots of second generation immigrant families tend to do the same -- have boring mainstream american food instead of the amazing traditional ethnic stuff that I know they have at home -- just to "please" everyone. Don't please everyone guys -- be yourself!!

I'm sure the millionaire Clintons will have the most amazing and delicious gluten free cake money can buy -- I wish I could try it! I might draw the line at no booze though ;)
