What
kind of jerky dude doesn’t like a good sausage? Not me. I
could eat tube steaks morning, noon and night. Especially these incredible
ones from The Fatted Calf. TFC makes some tasty charcuterie. They use the best ingredients and outrageous recipes that the owner learned in Italy (that’s where Hannibal Lecter stared down those giant man eating pigs so it’s not such an easy thing to do and very dangerous. You wouldn’t catch me anywhere near those crazy-ass Italian oinkers.) I got some pig meat (from normal-sizedpigs) that was cooked in wine and packed in olive oil. Taylor, the proprietor, calls it Tonno di Maisle and told me that it’s good to use the oil to dress a salad or beans. |

So far I have sampled their: Merguez – breakfast link sized lamb sausage – super good – just be sure not to over cook this one since it’s a little leaner than the others (as well as skinnier.) Breakfast sausage - tasty, salty pork sausage without casing - Taylor says you can mix with ground beef for superior meatballs. Bordelaise – lovely Duck Rillettes – the fat slowly melts from the heat of the toasted bread as you spread this luxiourious meat carpet over your levain. Toulouse – lovely pork sausage that would be nice to pop in a cassoulet sometime. Pepperoni – yum. Slab bacon – fantastic
motivation to cook up Rancho Gordo beans. |

I
always go back to my favorites like the hot Italian, merquez, breakfast,
saucisson sec, crepinettes (whatever kind they have that day) But the
MADMAN is the Fegatelli ($2.50) which are high end 'slim jims'
with a coarse grind and a subtle spicy kick. So, if you are in the mood to BLOW YOUR MIND, head on down to the Fatted Calf. |
