Quoted! I have been in Bayern (south germany) and I found some
wonderful pork, and I realized I was going to forget how *real*
pork is.
I recently discovered that a very good pork butcher, serving some
very famous restaurants in the north of Italy, works in a town
about 60Km from mine: and I'm gonna give it a try ASAP

BTW - Are there readers of the London Times, here on RFC? I know
a butcher in Cremona (near Milan), Franco Cazzamali, who's now
being celebrated by some Times' journalists who tried his meat in
London.
He works with Fassona, the best cows in Piedmont, and has raised
a consortium between butchers and breeders in the eighties, known
as "La Granda". He also serves some famous restaurants, including
all of the three italian restaurants with 3 michelin stars.
I tried out his meat and still have to recover from the
(positive) shock: a good pair of steps over any other meat I ever
had, any cut I tried, be it a 4 inches tall 3.5 pound T-bone
(with central part of the bone removed due to anti-BSE laws), be
it a cut from the front quarter or a pound of tripe. Magnificent.
