Jay, your sandwiches have always something special!
Thanks Pic and Jeff!
Little ot: i post some local sausages pics. I need them for tomorrow to use in pizza and piadina.
These are from one of the best local butchery and it's high quality. Unfortunately they hadn't one called "salsiccia col radeseo" or "mortadellina" that were maybe the most interesting. I dont' even know if it's really a sausage and if it is correct to call it salsiccia, but surely is similar.
Imagine a meatball like an hambuger but thicker. It's covered with pork omentum (radeseo), a net like tissue. Meat inside is similar to sausage or fresh salami pasta.
Next time i hope to find that, they are fatter than a normal sausage and are something special.
Here the team for tomorrow:
From left to right:
Slasiccia:
Standard sausage. Trusty like your best friend. This is the salsiccia.
Luganega (maybe moretta)
The bad boy of the group. Made with poor parts of pork, bloody parts, some entrails.
Sausage is better and some people is disgusted at that. Cooking on grill is difficult, they break easily, it's easy to burn them and hsve other parts uncooked.
And about luganega term... Often is used across Italy to mean salsiccia. Other times is a different thing. I suppose local meaning varies every 50km across north Italy (in other parts of Italy they boil it on water)... And probably i'm saying a lot of bullshit... I can only say that normal sausage is better, but luganega is for real men!
Salsiccia con pasta di salame:
The noble one of the group. Another salsiccia, with salami meat. I really don't know the difference between meat parts, Taste is more gentle.
Salamella
Like salsiccia but thinner. Usually sold in spirals 20-25cm diameter.
Salame fresco
Fresh salami (slices here), excellent to grill. Maybe has the same meat type of salsiccia con pasta di salame.
Polenta is the best friend of that stuff.
