Suckling Porchetta, Dot’s in Fremont *
So I walk into the charcuterie where I sometimes like to pick up handmade meat items (see below), and on the counter was this scene: an entire pig, fresh out of the oven, stuffed with loin, chop and sausage, all golden and crisped. It was quite a sight.
To the average person, seeing one’s food “uncensored” as it were, is a rare thing. It was not long ago that Americans killed their own chickens, pigs and cows, and picked their own vegetables. But now, because the past few generations living through the industrialization of our food supply, this seems like a scene from a horror film. And it shouldn’t be. It sure got attention, though!
