Sausage?

I find myself quite partial to this delicacy.

Saucisson sec: How do you eat French saucisson?

The name “saucisson” is derived from the French word "dry sausage." Wild sanglier (boar) and taureau (beef) varieties of this French delicacy can be found if you seek care. The French prefer leaner, tougher pork cuts such as leg or shank meat, with fatback or belly meat to fill in the gaps. The...

To be quite honest, I don't know why this hasn't been a staple of my food shopping as there's really nothing not to like - piggy, fat, salt and flavour. Thinly sliced, as a snack I'll have a good few slices in a ramekin and quite taken to a smear of Chimichurri to smear the slice over. Damn good!

Quite different texture and flavour. I can most definitely see this becoming "a thing" ... anyone else a fancier of such sausage?

Picked up another Bastides Salaisons Saucisson Sec this evening and an Argal Fuet Iberico ("a mould ripened sausage"), which is much drier than the French and more like really good jerky when finely sliced.

I'm also a fan of both Saucisson sec and Fuet - we had quite a bit of nice fuet over Christmas, which I think the missus picked up from Lidl.
