Tonight, Chef brought out a chunk of Italian Speck. Chef usually adds it to his daily pasta or risotto dishes. Here’s the Wikipedia link: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Speck
- Italian Speck
He must’ve been hungry because started shaving pieces off and munching on it. He also shaved samples for the staff (me included). First time for me to try Speck. Had it on some of the house bread. Pretty tasty. Tasted like a cross between salami and ham or bacon to me.
One of the benefits of helping in the kitchen.
The adventure continues.
Enjoy. Eat well.

I love speck! And I am loving following your kitchen adventures. You look like you are having a lot of fun! And when you’re having fun, can it be called work?
Yup, really learning a lot. Not so much work as gaining more experience.
You are having too much fun
Thanks, sometimes I have to pinch myself.
I LOVE speck……………….speck is the German word for bacon
Thanks, a new experience for me. Eat well.

Wow! Have a good trip. Eat well.
