You Can't Take the South Out of the Girl

3 notes

I have this game that I play in restaurants called “What’s secretly pork?” As a non-pig-eater who moved to New York with a limited food vocabulary, I would always end up wanting to eat some interesting-sounding thing on the menu only to find out that it was secretly pork.

Things I now know are pork:

  • Prosciutto
  • Sopressatta
  • Lardon
  • Rashers
  • Speck
  • Pancetta
  • Collops
  • Gammon steak (this one I learned yesterday!)
