Nice post. Sardinia is a fascinating culture. Now I want to learn more about the food. I have been curious about botarga and making my own. Since we have mullet off of our dock maybe I'll be getting the net out. Wow. Nice post. Sardinia is a fascinating culture. Now I want to learn more about the food.

I love the chicken, artichoke and tomato flavor combination. We have almost no food in our pantry. After living in NYC, I am used to doing our food shopping almost daily. I have to still mentally adjust to having a pantry and a basement where we can store preserved food. Yum. I love the chicken, artichoke and tomato flavor combination.

What a fabulous place to visit. I'd love to see those megalithic structures and old olive trees. I guess that wheat is not the same as it used to be in the past and it's cell structure has drastically changed (been changed), hence it now has a negative effect on mankind's health...

Lucky you. The dish sounds like it's the bomb. I imagine it tastes a bit different using boar than just our pork products. A really good book to read is Gastronomya of Italy. It is like an encyclopedia, but really interesting when it comes to how the different regions have their own traditions, and where they came from. Mind you, I couldn't find this dish there.

The recipe is easy and it sounds so good! I like the fact that you add a little tomato paste. Hi Jenn, what a beautiful post! The recipe is easy and it sounds so good!

We did a lot of canning and freezing. Canned sausage is awesome! It is cooked once before canning, and then again to be warmed. It is so lean and delicious, and tastes just as fresh as when it was canned. We also had a huge garden and fruit celllar. We did a lot of canning and freezing. Canned sausage is awesome!

It was a great experience and the food was amazing. When you appreciate that another being gave its life to sustain you, you are also discouraged from overeating. "Fresh" food from the grocery store is largely repugnant to me, and I get as much as I can from other local sources. I find myself allergic to corn, wheat, and soy. I attribute this to coming off of the farm and commencement of consuming non-farm produced meat and grains. I value this blog and the information that it provides. Thank you.
