Italian pork strike imminent! Get your prosciutto while you can!

You heard it here first! As of June 1, the pig farmers of Italy are going on strike. That puts Parma ham, prosciutto, and Piacenza pork neck salami, as well as other Italian pork products, under threat.

The Italian farmers say their earnings have been cut in half, with falling pork prices and rising feed costs. They decided to strike when financial assistance talks with the government fell through earlier this month. Part of the strike calls for farmers to not recognize Protected Designation of Origin certificates, which then can't be sold under EU rules.

If you're a big fan of Italian pork products, you might want to think about stocking up. If the garbage strike in Naples is any indication, this could last for a while.

There's nothing like a pile of good quality charcuterie piled up on a rustic table, with a table slicer in the rear of the waiting to shave ham, prosciutto and salami into thin delicious bits of meaty goodness. This image makes me nearly start to salivate and I want to leap up and run to my closest specialty store for a bit of porky goodness. The picture comes to us from food blogger Niamh of Eat Like a Girl. Find out more about her trip to Marylebone here.

Tip of the Day

Butterscotch sauce is a rich and buttery treat that makes a great seasonal dessert topper in place of chocolate or whipped cream.
