My next step...

[Ore]

Faith, thank you for spending time with us here on eGullet!

My name is Ore and I have been in Italy for about six months now. I am currently working (stage) in the Campania region in a small hill top town called Nusco.

I have been here for almost four months. I think it is time for me to learn from someone else now. I am very interested in Salumi. What kind of advice can you give me about this subject? I am most likely going to end up in the Marche region because of some connections there but I don't have the name of the Salumeria yet.

Can you please mention a few Salumerias (all around Italy) that are worth visiting.

Also,

(diff. subject!) I was on your web page a while back and on the pictures page were a bunch of photos of what appeared to be KKK rallies...did someone hack into your site? Was that KKK? (maybe it is somekind of Italian festival?) Not really sure!

Also,

I live near a really wonderful writer named Carla - she writes about food too!

Well,

Grazie - please check out my sig. link to see my blog about Italia!

Ciao,

Ore

***EDIT*** - after checking your website again - the pictures state Procession of Sorrento - wow - so this is an Italian thing - PLEASE EXPLAIN!!!!!!!

Grazie Mille!

Ciao Ore

If you're in Nusco you must be at the Locand di Bu. Say hi to Tonino. There are plenty of great salumi in the Irpinia area and Tonino should be able to turn you on to the best ones. You should plan to visit Dario Cecchini in Panzano in Tuscany, the greatest butcher in Italy. In Le Marche you should check out Aniko', where Moreno Cedroni makes fish salumi.

The pictures on my site are from a Good Friday procession in Sorrento.

Say hi to Carla from me.

a presto
