Either it isn't smoked or it just has "smoke flavoring".
What is the world coming to?
In Italy, Speck is smoked prosciutto. Please, don’t get me going on obtaining proper ingredients for my dishes. I’d kill to get a proper Guanciale but it can’t be done.
Nobody ever concocts veggie flavored meat...
Veggie prozhoot or gabagoo?
HERESY!
When I was in the navy, my ship stopped in Brindisi Italy for liberty call. Instead of following the crowd to McDonalds, my friend and I went down a side street and found a tiny restaurant with about four tables and hand written menus. We ordered Spaghetti Carbonara. It was absolutely delicious. My mouth is watering just from the memory. It also spoiled me. I have found nothing like it in the USA. Nothing. Even when I have found it on the menu in the US, it is nothing like what I had in Italy. Why do Americans have to Americanize everything?
