I am 98% pescatarian, but I love cold cuts from my earlier life, when I was growing up in a region of Italy, Emilia Romagna, where pork was part of the everyday diet.
In fact, in the region there is not one, but two monuments dedicated to the pig. One is in the small town of Castelnuovo Rangone, in the foothills of the Modenese Apennines, and one in Parma, the city known worldwide for its prosciutto, the Parmigiano Reggiano and the Università degli Studi di Scienze Gastronomice (University of Gastronomic Sciences.)
The pig is celebrated there because no part of it goes to waste. Long ago, the local peasants learned how to cook, cure, age, and eat basically every part of the pork. |
