Charcuterie

Hahaha, you probably should not know of what it is made then...

EDIT: usually the Brits are shocked by the fact we eat horse (very rare nowadays) and frog legs. I tried both: horse has a very potent taste, but it is OK, nothing special, and frog legs taste more or less like chicken. Snails taste like squids.

I know what it's made of. You can tell by looking at it [emoji3] never mind the smell.

Happy to eat horse. Snails are not my thing, but it's only because the flavour beneath the sauce isn't to my liking. Frogs legs are great.

The French really love their seafood, way more than the British. It always surprised me to see so much Scottish seafood in the French Markets, and particularly Rungis. French people are certainly more adventurous than British people on the whole.

I just had Culatello for the first time. Its very similar to Parma Ham/Prosciutto. I am not sure it's worth the premium. It's £10.00 a pack in M&S. The web says it's the King of Salumi.

Good Culatello can be great, the premium relies on the fact that it is made from a singular muscle type taken from the best part of the rear leg that unfortunately means the rest of the leg cannot be turned into proscuitto. I think once sliced and bagged, charcuterie loses 25% of it's essence.
