Meat Heaven

I love meat.  Growing up that love found it's form in blow-your-mind-family-recipe flank steak and rebelling against my mother's vegetable lasagna.  While living in Italy that love found many new objects of affection - oh Italian deli cases!  The cured meats there were simply amazing, but unfortunately I failed to find any parallel here in the States (save some imported prosciutto crudo) and salami, et al remained my lost European tastebud lovers.  Until now - I hope.

I came across a Creminelli fine meats ad on facebook the other day and was very intrigued (as a small business owner my primary interest in ads is seeing others' marketing techniques and wondering how much it cost...I can't remember the last time I bought something because of an ad).  And after visiting their site I couldn't resist, so I bought some (the Traditional Artisan and Gourmet Artisan packages).  Fast shipping, classy packaging, and the closest thing to authentic salami I've seen in the States. 

I'm in meat heaven, and I'll do some more posts as I eat my way out.
